Set your computer as a router: the Ubuntu way

Fon isn’t the only way to set a low-cost wireless router. Easy to say, but easy to do too? Yes, sir, once you follow these instructions that teach you how to turn your computer with a pair of network cards and running Ubuntu Linux operating system.

Even if your tech expertise is quite short, you will be able to tweak basic NAT, do port forwarding, set up a proxy, and do packet prioritization to get a powerful router ready for online gaming, file-sharing and voice calling.
