                          SIMPL
              By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555


     Nine months ago I wrote about my experience with FON over the past
     four years. I was not very positive, but thanks to our fellow sysop
     Steven Leeman, it got the attention of FON. To my surprise they
     offered me a free sample of their latest wireless router, the Fonera
     SIMPL. Not for writing such positive articles about FON, but for being
     such a loyal and persistent contributor. My FON spot has been on-line
     for almost five years now and they appriciate that.

     So having the Fonera SIMPL for free, it is only fair that I write down
     what I think of it.

     The Fonera SIMPL arrived about a month ago and so I took down the
     Linksys that had been quitly humming in the attic for almost five
     years and replaced it with the Fonera SIMPL. The Linksys has been
     reflashed with a version of OpenWrt that supports IPv6 and it is now
     hanging in the meter closet, functioning as my main router. Both have
     been humming away quitly for almost a month now without any need for
     a reset.

     So let me give you a list of my findings of what I liked and what I
     did not like about the Fonera SIMPL:

     What I liked:

     o The name is appropriate. It is basically a somewhat stripped down
       version of the Fonera plus. It has a WAN and a LAN port. The radio
       section supports 802.11n. What is stripped down is the firmware.
       Only the basic function are present.

     o The antenna is removable. So connecting an external antenna - a
       7dBi omni in my case - is no problem.

     o Power consumption is low. A simple small switched adapter suffices
       to power it and it stays cool. A vast improvement over some of its
       power hungry predecessors that suffered from overheating problems.
       Summer is yet to come, but I expect no overheating problems with
       the SIMPL.

     o It is stable. Contrary to some of its predecessors this Fonera is
       stable. I installed it a month ago and more or less forgot it.
       Every once in a while I check if it is still on air, but as it
       always is, the intervals get larger and my confidence that no
       resets are needed increase.


     What I did not like: (With suggestions for improvement)

     o There is no obvious may to screw it to a wall. It has rubber feet,
     FIDONEWS 28-14               Page 3                    4 Apr 2011


       so it makes no scratches on your desk, but I prefer routers and
       switches not to clog my desk, I want to screw then to a wall. So I
       made a very simple holder that I folded from sheet aluminium. A
       suggestion for FON might be to have such a holder made out of
       plastic. When mass produced, it should not have to cost more than a
       few cents, so adding it as a free extra would not make FON go
       broke.

     o No IPv6. I really think that, now that IANA has depleted its free
       pool of IPv4 addresses and APNIC is expected to quasi deplete
       before the end of this month, any network equipment that is not at
       least IPv6 ready, deserves to end up as ramsh. Already two years
       ago I decided I would not buy any new network equipment that does
       not support IPv6. Well...  I did not buy my Fonera SIMPL...

     o No bridge mode for the private signal. I wonder why FON is so hard
       headed about this. Users have been asking for this feature from the
       very first Fonera, but FON turns a deaf ear on them. The beauty of
       the Fonera SIMPL is in its simplicity. The flip side of that
       simplicity is that for many, it is not powerful enough to serve as
       their main router. So they put it behind a NAT and use it as a
       wireless access point only. No big problem for the public signal,
       but the private signal is next to useless in this mode. The machines
       on the private signal are isolated by a firewall from the machines
       on the main LAN and that is not what most users need. It does not
       bother me much, as I do not use the private signal anyway. When I
       need WiFi for myself, I use the signal from the old Linksys. It
       gives me full access to my LAN and it does so using IPv6 too!

     o The SSID of the public signal can not be changed. It is set to
       FON_FREE_INTERNET and that is it. I do not like it. First: it is
       misleading. It is NOT free. Yes, the services of some of FON's
       sponsors as Gmail and some others are free and you can get a 10
       minute trial period by clicking on some advertisement, but to
       obtain full internet access, you either need to pay or be a Fonero
       that has his own FON spot up and running at home. Calling that
       "free internet" is misleading. Plus of course that I simply want to
       advertise my FON spot as something more than jus a FON spot. I want
       the SSID to reflect the fact that is is MY FON spot. A restaurant
       owner or any other bussines using a FON spot to attract customers,
       would want that even more.

     o No personalisation of the landing page. The older Foneras offered
       the options of doing some (minor IMHO) personalisation to the
       landing page. With the SIMPL this is totally absent. Pity. My
       provider blocks port 25 outgoing, except to access their own SMTP
       server. With previous setups I added a small text to the landing
       page telling my users what SMTP server to use if they wished to
       send e-mail via SMTP. With the Fonera SIMPL this is no longer
       possible. Standard landing page only.

     o The internal web interface is only accessible via the LAN port.
       Good for security, but a bit akward for those who have made no
       compromise on range, do not use the LAN port and who placed their
       Fonera in a less accessible place as an attic or a radio tower.
       Having the option of accessing the web interface via the WAN port
     FIDONEWS 28-14               Page 4                    4 Apr 2011


       would be nice. OTOH, there is not much to configure that needs
       frequent changing, so it is not a big deal.

     o No SSH or Telnet access. Not a big deal either.


     Summary:

     The Fonera SIMPL serves its purpose well for those who expect no more
     than the name suggests. For use as just a FON hot spot, it is almost
     all that one could want. It is stable, it is undemanding on energy, it
     is not saddled with unneeded whistles and bells.

     I have to admit, I like it more than I expected. It has a its
     shortcomings, but for what I use it for: just a FON access point, it
     is better suited than all the other Foneras that I had the pleasure to
     test.

     =================================================================

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
        probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

                 Björn Felten
     Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0
     E-Mail      bfelten @ telia dot com
     Skype file  bfelten

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
