Well, you agree with my son who swears by the DD-WRT-load in a Linksys. ...live and learn.

They tend to lose their settings more frequently than our router of choice. We use the Linksys WRT54GL (note the "l") routers exclusively now. We load DD-WRT on them to boost the power a little and give us the flexibility to do WDS with two of them if we need to. We turn off routing (routing is done via the client radio) and turn the internet port into a 5th LAN port. And we bundle them with a small APC UPS to deal with power issues. This has worked very well for us. I tried one of the Linksys "N" type routers (the black one that kind of looks like the B2 Stealth Bomber). It was about the same price as the WRT54GL. But in my testing I did not see any increase in range with my laptop. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Schmidt Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 5:48 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Household WiFi router? Was Re: Future I've used the same list and when I got to Buffalo I stopped. I have installed wireless routers and bridges (especially to IQeye hi-res cameras w/multi-megapixel images) and these never had been rebooted in a year and a half...and, the connection is like a wire...no lockups, no hiccups, no strange incidents. Like a wire. . . .

Was Re: Future Travis, Could you share what hardware you use for the wireless firewall/router? I've been having more trouble with those than the radios mounted outside. thanks PS - I started with Zyxel p330. The ones I bought last year are mostly still working, but they seemed to change something for this year's model. I've also tried some Belkin and Linksys and still haven't found anything I consider good. On April 20, at 10:44 PM April 20, Travis Johnson wrote: > > You have to provide some value to your service.
