Happy New Year!

Summary:

A followup to the November meeting, this time Russell will demonstrate 
installing OpenWrt on a Linksys E8450, a modern Wifi 6 device available 
for pretty reasonable prices. He'll also demonstrate how to open the 
case and install an externally accessible serial console connector. If 
you are interested in obtaining an already OpenWrt-flashed E8450, there 
will be a limited supply at the event to purchase for the hardware 
replacement cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0998C9T97/

Russell Senior has been building OpenWrt from source for a variety of 
purposes since about 2006 and has considerable knowledge about the ins 
and outs and what-have-yous.

Venue:

PLUG is back at Portland State University. Thanks to the Computer 
Science Department and to Andrew Greenberg for hosting us! The room is 
in the basement of the PSU Engineering Building (also connected 
underground to the Fourth Avenue Building, or FAB). Enter through the 
Engineering Building. The outside door will be locked, but there should 
be someone present at the entrance to let you in starting at 6:40pm 
until 7pm. There will be a sign on the door with a phone number you can 
SMS if there isn't someone there to let you in immediately.

PS: We are going to need a volunteer to hang out by the outside door 
until start time to let people in, let me know if you are willing to do 
that. Thanks!
