Ok I know this has been sort of discussed before but I have a bit of a dilemma.
I have one cost conscious organisation (a not for profit) with a couple of
single user sites that have a single phone and wireless.
I connect these sites back to the head office over the Internet to create a
closed telephony system.
I initially used Mikrotik routers which are very feature rich, very cheap and
do everything plus more however when my office router began to perform a DoS
attack on the US Dept of Labor (I kid you not), I thought I would not continue
using them.
Now obviously happy to spend the money at the head office on a good Astlinux
system, however its a little hard to justify an x86 box and a separate WAP at
the small site when you can buy one for under $100. Now admittedly it doesn’t
do what I want it to do e.g. SSH Tunnelling so that is where my dilemma is.
The options I see are as follows:
1) Buy a cheap wireless router and put up with the limitations
2) Buy a cheap wireless router and roll OpenWRT onto it to give me more features
3) Run Astlinux and a separate WAP and thats that
4) Some other solution or product I have not looked at
Thanks
Regards
Michael Knill
