Is it possible to change firmware?

Hi,
I want to buy a router.
Since I'm a happy Apple user, I think Airport Extreme would be a nice option for me.
There're some Linux-based router firmwares (Tomato, OpenWRT, FreeWRT,...) that supposedly transform a regular router into a "super router".
I've look into the features offered by the linux firmware and some of them caught my eye, for instance:
+ running rsync between an USB disk attached disk and a remote server
+ downloading through FTP, HTTP or Torrent to an USB attached disk
+ ...
These features would allow me to run some tasks without having my Macbook turned on all the time, very useful.
My questions are: is the Airport Extreme capable of running services like rsync as a standalone machine? If not, would I be capable of changing the firmware of AEBS to a linux-based one?
Thank you.

The answers are no and... no.

    Hi people,
    I'm typing from Brasil, sorry my English.
    I have a iMac 21,5" Intel mid 2011 and I need to know if is possible I change the original 500Gb HD for a 512Gb SSD?
    I intend to keep the original DVD driver and install the SSD in the same HD place.
    If yes, where I find a tutorial about this?
    And I will like to know if the 512GB Solid-State Drive Kit for Mac Pro is compatible with iMac.

    What brand and model of SSD do you recommend?
    Thanks a lot for now and best regards all.

    Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
    This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor.
    Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable.
    When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
    If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
    Fixes people have used in the past included:
    Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
    Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
    Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
    Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
    HDD Fan Control
    HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.
    It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating
    Instead of HDDFan Control, get the free SSDFan Control

  • Possible to change a 9900 from ENterprise to oem?

    You need a BlackBerry data plan (BIS) on your line. Once you do and the service books are pushed to the device, you will have the option to set up Internet email.
    If you are paying for BIS and don't have the option to set up Internet email, call your carrier customer support. Could be the carrier goofed on their side of the setup.

  • Is it possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar (mavericks)?

    I'd like to know if it's possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar? Thanks!

    No.
    There are up to six calendar weeks that might be used to display the 31 possible days in a month.
    So the month view displays six weeks.

    Please let me know is it possible to change the ALV layout settings in background as we can change the layout settings in foreground to get correct format when download to excel.

    Hello,
    Add a parameter for layout on selection-screen (p_varmm LIKE disvariant-variant).
    As you are in backgroud mode, ALV will be printed with this layout (assuming you call correctly the MF ALV_LIST or REUSE_ALV_GRID)

  • Where it is possible to change the value separator in Custom Field?

    Hello,
    This is a question around the "Custom Fields" and "Lookup Table"
    I linked a "Custom Field" to a "Lookup Table".
    I select the option "Allow multiple values to be selected from lookup table"
    When I used this "Custom Field" in a view, the selected values are separated by a comma ",".
    Where it is possible to change this value?
    I saw another project server where the character is a semi-column ";" and I would like to test with ";".
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    This will be triggered by your regional settings.
    Hope this helps,

    Hello,
    Thank you for the answer.
    Do you mean the "local regional settings"?
    Because, depending on the PWA site I'm connected to I don't have the same values. I'm obviously using the same workstation.

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show all 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours.
    Also is it possible to have all of the 'all day' entries showing, not just 3.5 of them.
    The app Week Cal HD was the perfect calendar until Apple removed it so could they please offer the same facilities that it offered.

    Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
    A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
    Possible or not?

    Yes, you can, but you need to make sure the HTML comment tags are correct. What you have done won't work, but this will:

  • Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

    So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

    Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

    What do you mean by "like to see" ? You can WRITE the fields in any order you want. If you want to display the internal table in an ALV you can manipulate the fieldcatalog.
    If you want something else other than display the field, you have to explain your req. in detail.
