How to configure Bell's 2Wire modem as Access point

Posted by Ranjith at 9:56 PM



There are so many guides online for how to unlock the Bell 2Wire modem. Most of them are using Singtel firmware.  SingTel’s firmware is better than Bell’s firmware but I like the CenturyLink’s firmware.  It has a clean interface and you can setup password to protect. You can download this firmware from their support website here. It may ask you to enter the zip code, you can use this 55401. Down the list you will see 2Wire 2701/270HG, expand it by clicking the plus sign and click on windows or Macintosh and following the instructions to download the firmware.  


I have writtien a full guide how to upgrade the firmware and configure it as regular dsl modem or access point here.

Sony SMP-N100 Network Media Player

Posted by Ranjith at 7:10 AM

Serviio DLNA server supports MKV streaming to Sony SMP-N100 network player.







According to Sony Manual, MKV playback only supported from USB. But I was able to stream all my MKV 720P movies using Serviio DLNA server.

After downloading from Serviio and installed in my Windows 7 desktop, I opened the Console to set the profile of the player to Sony BD Player / SMP and under Transcoding, change number of CPU cores to use to 4 (My CPU is i7).

OpenMediaVault

Posted by Ranjith at 7:12 AM

OpenMediaVault is a network attached storage solution based on Debian Linux. Its very similar to FreeNAS. I am not fan of FreeNAS, since its based on FreeBSD. So for those of us who prefer Debian based Linux, this OpenMediaVault would be nice alternate option. . Check out this link OpenMediaVault blog
