Personally/at-home I use a Cisco-Linksys WRT610N. Its probably dated by now. I've most recently deployed Netgear N600 WNDR3700's in local residential's. They benchmark really well. -- ME2 On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 1:35 PM, Steven Peck wrote: > Which N based wireless routers do you use? I h

Re: OT: WiFi Repeater recommendations

You don't mention what your load and application requirements are. How many PCs are at the far end of this link? Is there clear line of sight? Will you use the link for VOIP? Will the link support web access, application access. How much total bandwidth is needed? 100 yards isn't too much to co

Which N based wireless routers do you use? I have 2 of the WAP54G's and am looking at replacing them with N's. On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 1:33 PM, Micheal Espinola Jr < michealespin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I gotta agree with the bridging nudge. When DD-WRT is configured for both, > my issues have al

Re: OT: WiFi Repeater recommendations

I gotta agree with the bridging nudge. When DD-WRT is configured for both, my issues have always been with the bridge - especially regarding out-right dropping. Something I have had recent luck doing is using dual-band routers and configuring the 5Ghz band for N bridging - and leaving the 2.4Ghz

We installed a microwave link between buildings in Florida, it's worked swimmingly well (no pun intended). I would highly recommend looking at that option. And yes, it is very humid and wet down here, as you might imagine. Alex From: Jon Harris [mailto:jk.har...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, Apri

RE: WiFi Repeater recommendations

Might be worth looking into making a couple of Yagi antennas, one for each site, and pointing them at each other for a 'narrow beam' directional connection. Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event ! ' -Original Mes

If he is already an iPhone user, he might be disappointed as the Windows touch interface is not yet up to the Apple or Android multi-touch. But still good, in conjunction with traditional input methods. Personally I'd like to see it more in a notebook than a desktop. Erik Goldoff IT Consultant

RE: Windows 7 Imaging

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks - very informative. We'll probably try the ImageX route first, per your suggestions. I saw a demo of the Dell Kace imaging system last a few days ago. It's amazing. Very flexible, easy to use and modify. It's file based, so pushing an image down will b
