Slim Devices had a one-time recommendation for 'Ruckus Wireless' (http://www.ruckuswireless.com/) routers. The pre-n MIMO routers out there are also supposed to be very good and quite fast. Don't know how good any of this stuff will be for fighting interference, as that isn't what MIMO really addresses. However the most flexible router has got to be a Linksys WRT54GL (or WRT54G v4 if you can still find one) with 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT. This 3rd party firmware will allow you to increase power. You can also use 3rd party firmware on some Buffalo and Asus routers. Increasing power may not be the answer, and it can shorten the life of the wireless module. The recommendation is usually for high-gain or directional antennas. Unfortunately if you already have high signal strength, this may be some strong interference. More signal may or may not be able to overcome it. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
