Final Release Features & Planned Plug Ins
If you have tried our Beta2, you are already familiar with our Dashboard and know the features that the La Fonera 2.0 will ship with its final firmware. But well, let’s list them anyway:
FON Feature: Private WiFi signal for your own use and Public one for Foneros (CoovaChilli). Join the world’s largest WiFi network, connect for free on all FON Spots worldwide and make money from the passes you sell.
WiFi Signal Repeater: Rather than connecting your La Fonera 2.0 to the internet using a network cable, connect to an existing wireless signal! The La Fonera 2.0 will still be broadcasting your Private and Public SSID.
3G UMTS Connexion: Plug your USB HSDPA modem to La Fonera 2.0 and it will instantaneously spread it’s internet access in the form of WiFi!
Router Features: Feeds internet in a secure way (WPA2) to as many computers as you want through WiFi and to a computer plugged into the La Fonera 2.0 LAN port. Distribute IPs by DHCP, Forward ports, etc.
Storage Sharing: Plug a USB storage device (pen-drive, hard drive, card reader, etc) and browse content from any computer in your home network (samba), from La Fonera 2.0 Dashbord (LuCI) or FTP
Printer Sharing: Plug your USB printer and use it from any computer in your home network. MAC OS, Linux or Windows, it works with any operating system.
Webcam Sharing: Plug a webcam and stream its video flux from any computer in your network or save regular snapshots to your attached pen-drive.
Plug-In Support: Install new apps from La Fonera 2.0 Dashboard in just one click. Third party developers, as well as FON ones, will be able to add new features to the La Fonera 2.0
That will be the base of the La Fonera 2.0 firmware - it might change slightly from now to the final release. We are already working on these Plug Ins:
- Youtube Uploader
- Azureus BitTorrent client
- OLPC Feature
- Music Streaming (based on pm2036’s work)
- Bluetooth (with the help of rwhitby)
More will come later on. If you have other ideas and want to implement them, feel free to join us, we can help you!

Azureus is not too heavy? Maybe should be better to use soft like transmission or utorrent?
Wake on lan and Status monitoring (LAN, WAN…) like in the last DD-WRT firmware will be include?

Please, don’t forget to include email notifications of fonera activity and monthly usage statistics. Not hard ¿is it?

first repair many bugs and add features MAC adress and others advanced

Agree with Yoo, perlhaps utorrent fits better. Anyway if they are devoping it under “azureus” sure there i a good reason.
Another to do to the list
: a streaming server. Not only music, also video.
For example I’d lke to use my Wii via wifi to get video streams. It is now feasible but I need one PC as server, why not the fonera as server?
Promising work! thank you

I like could seen who use my fonera at moment.
I think can view the connections in the firmware fonera in time real.

UPDATE: You will be able to connect the La Fonera 2.0 to an existing WiFi signal
Azureus: A great deal of optimizations were made on Azureus, and it’s performing really well on the La Fonera 2.0. To compare it with other clients will be really easy, most of them are packaged for OpenWRT.
Other features mentioned: Most of them can be added by Plug ins!

Any roadmap for the following release?

It is also very important to add the option of being able to access the Internet with Fonera wireless access without wire. Or having the repeater function. It is very important to be able to connect the Fonera in places where you can not move any wire.

I would that la Fonera have ponte2 (bridge mode ) and webcam streaming via fon.com userzone . May be a little itunes in the la Fonera 2.0 ,so I can connect my iPhone on it to donwload the new app or to the backup .

Any idea about when this new firmware will be release?

Hello Plugin Programmers.
A real cool plugin would be an FTP-Server which doesn’t let me upload and download files only from within the private net, but also from the outside. So, this would offer me (and my friends) my own web-space, size-wise only limited by the size of my hard disk drive.
Also an HTML-Server would be good.
