User zone administration needed
In a post in the english board of fon , in which I described how to integrate la fonera with existing linksys router , I argued about the user zone , that will populate with 2 router active . After I received the new fonera , and activated it , in my user zone appear also the new hotspot . The icon is different from the linksys one , perhaps FON’s servers make a mac address check, but the point is that the user zone shows two routers , and suppose that I shut down the older one , I should be able to deselect or cancel the older one.
Since the fonera has been launched , every fonero with a linksys router , can purchase the new router for 5 $ or euro , I suppose FON prefer that his users adopt the fonera to have more control on the network .
In the screenshot , you find my user zone .
There are 5 routers shown , but only 3 are active.
You are asking yourself why I have 5 routers , and the answer is that it’s possible to register as many routers as you want , you can also become fonero linus without any router , but I won’t tell you how (the more expert buddies knows already how to do it ) .
The point is that with the introduction of fonera , in the user zone , a control to delete the unused router , must be added.
So FON staff , please try to implement this function as soon as possible , foneros will be grateful.

But Dema… being able to unregister means that fon would have to subtract numbers from it’s count of routers! Being unable means that fon shows only growth, and 100% compliance!

We are definitely looking into that functionality. Cool blog by the way. Keep it up!

@ Austin.
frankly speaking , FON has already removed the counter on their website front page , now they claim to be the largest wifi community in the world , and probably , it’s true.Thanks for your comment.
@ William ,
bonjuor monsieur , thanks for taking this blog in concern.
Longing for the change in the user zone router management.

Speaking of zones, do foneros have access to my LAN when they log-in or is it restricted to the NET? I wouldn’t want them browsing my other machines here.
