Cost, features, flexibility. The Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS access points (various models and revisions; other vendors have similar models that should work as well with DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.) can usually be had for for considerably less than an official "bridge" device (I recently picked up a used WRT54G at a yard sale for $5 USD). Free alternate firmware like Tomato, DD-WRT, etc. gives you more options than the "factory" firmware. And APs like the WRT54G that have been turned into bridges can support several ethernet clients, while most bridge devices only have one ethernet jack. You need to be careful what model & revision (!) you buy (look at the relevant documentation for the firmware you intend to use) -- caveat emptor -- but I've had great luck with DD-WRT on Linksys (if I started today, I'd probably use Tomato). http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato http://www.dd-wrt.com/ I don't know if the DI-624 can act as a bridge -- some quick searches suggest it cannot, that it can only act as an AP. If you don't know the difference, then you need to do some research. :-) -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29802 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
