See, now there's a "right answer" right there. ;o) I had heard a lot of buzz about WDS, but now you've confirmed my suspicion that there's no advantage in my setting where I have ethernet running between the locations for the two routers. So that means my Option 1 is a non-starter. Thanks also for the pointer on the WNDR3700, and to rgro, soulkeeper, and ajkidle for their input on this and other routers.
I'm still interested in hearing reports from others about their N-router success/failures. Support for alternate/open source firmware is high on my priority list, just on general principles. And gigabit ports are also a big plus, even if that means more $ to replace a couple 100Mbs switches on my network. And for future-proofing I like the idea of simultaneous dual-band. But none of these features matter if the router can't keep a connection, so it's good to hear how they've performed in real life. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82108 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
