Yea, I built a couple poe injectors for my wrts. I need to build a smaller one for my home wrt though, the one I have at the moment is a bit too big. Wires look ugly.

Anybody Modding there WRT may want to read this:

Cat-5 Ethernet/Serial/PoE to your wireless router
Adding PoE(Power over Ethernet) just wasn't good enough for [steve]. Not only does he have power running over his Cat-5, he shared the ground wire and used the remaining pair to add a serial console to his rooftop mounted wireless router. Nice.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

I like the idea of PoE for the WRT's........think I'll look into that a bit more....
Yea, they come in handy when you plumb in your network cables in the walls. You can mount the wrt anywhere that way. Saw somewhere where a guy put screws through the rubber feet of a wrt and mounted it that way. Works out really well. I used one inch sheetrock screws. Ran them through the little holes on the feet then put the feet back in the router. Positioned it where I wanted it on the wall and pushed in a bit. Then screwed in the screws where they left marks on the wall.The rack is starting out nice and tidy! Wish mine were

I've been messing around with 3rd party firmwares for a while now, I would suggest using openwrt and the buildroot, you can cross-compile basically anything, there are tons of pkgs (.ipkg) with lots of apps already ported, and the ipkg system actually works in openwrt(kamikaze-great stable fw) unlike dd-wrt which has a lot of 'broken' ports. Adding an sd mod or usb flash and using pivot_root was proven to work but honestly I can't remember the link... so you can have your router sitting in your trunk runing close to a full distro, and with the use of scripts like autoap maintain a connection at all times, maybe even "auto tftp on connect" heheI have a buffalo whr-hp-g54 and a asus wl-500gp (266MHz-32MB RAM-2 v2.0 USB-cm9 miniPCI) with 8gb flash usb/usb gps on the usb slots and a 5V 2A converter. Or whatever purpose, I would love to have bt3 full runin on one, which I'm probably gonna get started on in a few days when I get another router to mess with, only thing with overcloaking the cpu that I've found a little dusturbing is, it creates more noise, so just keep in mind, going over 250 on a 200/233mhz + >75mW output would be overkill. Not to mention some routers, such as the whr-hp-g54 also have a built in amp so you really wanna keep your mW low.
If anyone is interested in a project, such as bt-wrt, drop me a line or lets just go ahead and start up a clean section
