In theory, it's better to cable directly to devices rather than daisy chaining. This presumes you've a patch panel that terminates one end of all the cat6, and either a switch that does vlans or a multi-port router that you can run patch cables to. One of your Opwen-WRT boxes could be that router, in which case you're stuck with a physical location for that wireless AP. What's actually best in any given case depends on budget, physical layout, personal preference when it comes to managing devices and software, etc., etc. Karl <[email protected]> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.
