How to enable mirroring on Asus RT-N66U

If for the purpose of troubleshooting etc., you need to mirror on the Asus RT-N66U [Asus Dual-Band Black Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router - RT-N66U (Google Affiliate Ad)] you'll find no easy switch in the control panels.  Fortunately I found a PDF here that includes a couple commands on page 2 that do the trick nicely.

First, you'll have to telnet into the router, or access it's system command console here:
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8443/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp
(Insert your IP instead of the 'xxx's.  Also, I have mine set for secure access on port 8443)

Then issue each of these, followed by enter.  The console will provide no feedback.

iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -j ROUTE --gw 192.168.1.40 --tee

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -j ROUTE --gw 192.168.1.40 --tee

"The above commands will make a copy of all of the traffic on your network to the
gateway IP address 192.168.1.40", for example.

When done, to switch off mirroring, use:
iptables -F -t mangle

"The above command will flush the 'mangle' table and stop mirroring traffic to IP address
192.168.1.40 without rebooting the router."

Special thanks to Bill Parker for that info!

FOSCAM outdoor versus indoor cam

Really?
I just changed the outdoor camera's lens to a wide-angle. Nothing else crazy done to it. And this is the best I can get out of it (left-side)??????

Right side is the indoor camera at the same time, sitting on the back patio aiming the opposite direction. Is there a solution, or am I DOOMED!

FOUND: XTNDAccess USB IRDA driver!

From a post here, found that this is equal or compatible with a Belkin product!
Gee, that only took another HOUR of my life that I'll never get back.

UVerse 2Wire Wifi Sucks

Post here shows they admit the newest firmware they PUSHED to it is the issue. NICE.

Foscam problem

So the new outside IP camera seems to be working... or is it?
Having a color problem, not sure of the cause. Almost like the light sensor is activating the night mode, even though it's crazy bright out already. Not sure what the fix is. This is with the new fisheye wide-angle 2.1mm lens.

I know I'll forget this awesome post with a cheap way to do it... so here, for my future self:

Facebook doesn't have an "Uber Like" button, so I had to put this here. Ridiculous talent.
