Ever feel that the web configuration interface for your wireless access point didn’t give you the control you desired? Why not just connect a keyboard and monitor directly to the router and bypass having to access it from another device? That’s what Sven Killig has done with this clever hack using a DisplayLink device and some open source know-how.

“bypass having to access it from another device?”
You’re actually accessing it from the DisplayLink device.
Why not just add a serial terminal? Hook it up to a laptop with a terminal program and you’re done. You’ll also be able to use this laptop to connect to just about any other piece of non-consumer network equipment since they all bootstrap through a serial port.
