You can make your own Wireless Access Point with Raspberry Pi using Tenda Wireless USB Adapter (W311U+).    It won’t give you the same performance like the commercial one… but it will allow you to connect at least 5 devices and install network security packages to play with 🙂  neat!

Bought from Octagon Megamall with PhP600 price tag.  You can also try other Wireless USB adapters like CDR-King’s… but check if it can operate on “Software AP” mode.

Raspberry + webcam Sample Shot

A sample shot of a cheap webcam attached to RPi.  Not bad for surveillance camera alternative. Using Raspberry Pi (UK) B 512mb with 2G SD Card as boot to USB 16G Toshiba Thumbdrive and CDR-King WebCam.
