Recently I bought a new Linksys WRT150N wireless router because I was fed up with my current one and because I had heard the famed DD-WRT firmware could be installed on it, effectively turning a cheap router into an expensive one. My old SMC router would drop connections about once a month and it really lacked the customizability that I required for my networking needs. For example, do you know how much of a pain it is to forward port ranges one port at a time with a 10 port limit? I also was not able to assign static IPs to my computers within the subnet (though to give my even older router credit, I could do this before).

I’ve documented the steps so you can follow along too should you decide one day that your standard router firmware just isn’t doing enough for you. Though these steps are for the Linksys WRT150N router, they are pretty much applicable to any router (that can support DD-WRT that is). Read more »

July 13th, 2003 Note: For those of you looking for an unlock for the new iPhone v2.0 firmware, IT IS NOT OUT YET! Check out our post on the current state of things for more details or come back to Code Retard in a few days. You can be sure we will cover how to do the unlock when it comes out.

So you just bought your iPhone and don’t want to commit to a 2-year agreement with AT&T. No problem! As long as you have a GSM provider (T-Mobile or AT&T) you can simply remove your existing SIM card from your current phone and put it in any unlocked iPhone and you can then use it freely without commitments. Earlier we posted about a video containing the steps to unlock the iPhone but some people are faster readers than watchers since you actually have to watch videos in their entirety. Plus our pictures are less blurry. Read more »

Instructables modder Agurri, inspired by the idea of stuffing an iPod Shuffle inside a classic Nintendo remote, decided to do the same thing but for his Apple Remote and post the instructions on the web for all to enjoy. If you’ve got a soldering iron, a Dremel and aren’t afraid to open up your hardware, then you might want to give this a go or do something similar. The NesRemote as he calls it has full functionality so the directional arrows and A, B, start and select buttons all work. Check out the cool video of the modded NES remote in action below:

This method REQUIRES a WiFi connection and jailbroken iPhone!!!

Thanks goes to Unique311 at internettablettalk for first showing me how to do this on the Nokia N800/N810 Internet Tablets. I’m sure others came before him on the PC method. What’s new is it now works on the iPhone.
