I think you will get the NMEA stream from 8889.
http://192.168.0.1:8889/
If that is enabled. Not quite what you might want but close, and there are converter programs available.
You might also be able to decode what comes out of the GPS page (by looking for the map URL).
For me, I'd like to put my (external USB via serial) GPS on it using a USB hub. |

Ya, I just want something simple I can build a little widget with, and display the signal strength, and the date, time, and last fix.

A resettable Bandwidth Meter that survives a power down cycle.
Measures the bandwidth used by all devices.

With a cap that once reached, the router would email you, and optionally deny any further WAN activity until cleared.
For example: At 5GB...

in light of sprint's new cap (specifically, the one about 300mb in roaming)
how about a way to see if one is 'roaming'?
what would be really cool is a pref to send email/sms when router determines that it has entered roaming coverage. |

| Isn't there an option for locking out roaming? |

|
|
OK,
This might be a little far fetched, but I would like to have the router also connected to my house phone network.
There are a lot of ways this could go, but my basic goal is to have cell calls loaded onto the house network when I am home. I guess this would involve another docking point on the router for accepting calls to the cell number and then transmitting them on the home service. If more than one phone were attached (a USB hub?) then different ringtones could be generated for different persons. And of course, the cell phone would be charging while sitting in the cradle ..... |

Does anyone know if these routers have automatic shutoff feature that shuts down the router after a certain amount of bandwidth usage? That would be really useful now that every cellular company is imposing a 5gb cap. _________________ - Henry |

| I agree a bandwidth usage monitor with email/sms notifications at predetermined amounts would be great. Especially for those with usage restrictions |

| another useful feature that should be implemented is being able to use the usb port as a print server. Even better would be able to share usb devices on the network (aka share external harddrives) ... but I'd be very happy with just print server functionality |
