It's a cheap Pheenet WBIG-104b+ Router with 1 WAN, 4 LAN (100/10 switch), 22Mbps WLAN. 802.11b+ Supports MAC + port filtering, WEP up to 256bit Nice webbased setup (for dummies!), as I already mentioned a nice default setup firewall and lots of options to mess up the whole scheme! Only thing I'll have to look for is the signal strength (power?). I'm just 4 meters away with my laptop but I only have 82% signal strength according to the small task bar applet. When I put the AP on the balcony (in first floor) and move out on the street the connection breaks down when I'm just about 10m away. On the box it says: Transmit Output Power 17dbm (whatever that means), looks like that is the power of the transmitter to the laptop card. On the card's box I don't find any references to that, it's a Belkin F5D6020 v. 2100 which runs fine under Mandrake with the pcmf502rd module. wobo
