[geeks] request for assistance

[Michael Parson]

I have a friend in NYC that is not very technical, but needs some tech
work that I can't work through remotely.

She's in Manhattan, Tribeca area, Church and Franklin.

Basically, she runs a theater down there that has been having problems
with people breaking in.  For some reason, the building owners won't let
her run a hard-wired internet connection.

She's gathered what she believes is everything she needs, she just
doesn't have the skills to set it up up herself.

She has a network-connected security camera system (ethernet only, no
Wifi), a Linksys WRT-54GS2 (not sure which revision, but she's insisted
it's NOT a 1.5 which can't run dd-wrt), and a MiFi device of some sort.

She needs someone who can do a factory reset on the MiFi device and
reconfigure it with some reasonable Wi-Fi security, flash dd-wrt onto
the Linksys and configure it into bridge mode so the security system can
be connected to over the Internet.

All told, I wouldn't expect this to take too long, but it's not
something I can easily do from Austin.

So... would anyone be willing to help her out?  There's no money in
it, but you get that grand sense of good will that you've helped out
someone. :)
