Last I heard, 802.11n wasn't finalized yet, there's only versions according to the latest (as of when they were designed) _draft_. So interoperability between chipset vendors (on the router vs on the laptop or whatever) isn't assured. (Not having any devices capable of 802.11n to talk to it, I didn't care enough to find out which combinations have worked before for people.) Some of the older Linksys (non-n) routers were capable of having open source firmware put on them that made them much more capable (if harder to set up). I don't know that it would be still true for something newer like that; haven't been following that. The only Linksys router I've used was a WCG-200 (combo cable modem/router/WiFi access point), which was ok _until_ I did something like bittorrent, when it would just roll over and die because its NAT table overflowed and its timeout for inactive entries was too long. So I replaced it with a D-Link DCM-202 cable modem and DIR-825 router. The router was horrible with the original 2.0 firmware but has been rock solid for me with the 2.02NA firmware on it. I don't really see this as an OpenSolaris question (give or take the router's browser configuration working nicely with FireFox, and no other host software being needed.) Google around a little; you ought to be able to find other people's reactions looking for something like WRT610N reviews -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
