I took the CAI board down to the basement and plugged it in to an old wireless router..

Turned on my Toys-R-Us Tab and found I could connect and log into the CAI controller,
without any connection to the web, whatsoever..

Here's my Tab post..

It seems like that any old laptop (or desktop) with wifi could be used to link up with this board.
(When it's connected to the old WHR-G54S router).

The reasons I'm investigating stand-alone controls is:

Because I might need to locate the Board near the equipment that
I want to control or monitor. (Wirelessly).

And, because I may want to be able to maintain the board's usefulness
when the grid goes down, and takes the WWW with it..
(Maybe for a few days)!

Cheers,
Rich
