a number of us in the local linux users group are considering selecting a single router and simultaneously purchasing, configuring and documenting it WRT running openwrt, so that others can follow what we eventually publish and play along.
we've been talking about the ubiquiti rs pro which, while it sells as a bare board, can be purchased as a full kit here: http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_104&products_id=812 so, a few questions, if i may: * any notable experiences with that router, good or bad? are there any crippling shortcomings that we should know about? * anyone in canada already gone through this, and have any specifically canadian purchasing experiences we'd want to know about? a couple other people have already agreed that, while this is a slightly more ambitious project than just agreeing on an off-the-shelf router, it has more long-term value, so we're willing to invest the extra time. we just want to know if we would, for any reason, regret this choice down the road. there's nothing obvious that jumps out at us, we just want to know what anyone else has discovered. thanks. rday p.s. the rs pro is advertised as coming with openwrt pre-installed, so it's a bit confusing to read the entry on it here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start#supported.hardware where "wireless standard" is listed as "no", and there is no apparent VLAN config. can anyone clarify those shortcomings given that that unit is *sold* with openwrt on board? that just seems a bit odd. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
