Per-device quotas provide you with the same functionality that your ISP has in terms of rate-limiting, as well as completely cutting access.

Gargoyle on the TP-Link WR1043ND
Updated 29/6/2013: Gargoyle is some of the best custom firmware you can get for a lot of routers. In fact, it’s better than a lot of standard firmware by a long shot. Gargoyles benefits are summed up well on the ‘shop” page of the gargoyle-router.com website: Gargoyle is the only solution on the market that […]
Googles Nexus 7 in danger of failure? Yeah right!
So I was linked to an article written earlier today by a journalist who both *clearly* suffers from a case of “I’ve only ever been an Apple dude” and has absolutely no idea about anything else on the market right now shy of the iPad.

More router reliability musings
Following on from my earlier post last month on “Router reliability musings“, I recently did some additional “testing”, and figured now was a good time to post a follow-up.

After the success of the Galaxy S tutorials I wrote back when I had one, I figured now I’ve had my Galaxy Nexus for coming up to two months that I should do likewise. I’ve been taking a bit of a hiatus from MIUI since I got the Galaxy Nexus in late January 2012, but […]
Ads on the site
So, I’m trialling some small advertising on the blog here. I get enough hits that I figured I’d see if I could capitalize on it a little, cover the cost of the hosting and the domain maybe. Hopefully it’s not too annoying, we’ll see where I go with it in the long run. I’ve also […]
SPA962 with SPA932 Busy Lamp + Call Pickup + Speeddial
So the Linksys SPA962 is a great phone, and coupled with the SPA932 Attendant Console makes it a “must have” for any receptionist when you’re running an Asterisk IP PBX. However, getting it to run happily can be a bit of a mission if you’ve never done it before. Thankfully, it’s not too difficult
