Re: [nycwireless] Getting the right Linksys for Supernode (WRT54GL) (MBP)
Has anyone here w/ a MacBook experienced any connection issues pertaining to the router? Ive seen tons of postings about it ... ie: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=374652&tstart=120 Ive had a PowerBook G4 on OpenWRT for a long time and have had no issues whatsoever, but my wifes MacBook can't stay up for too long before having to reconnect. I have not had a chance to interchange the router yet but anyone else w/ MB(P) have issues? - Jon On Jun 1, 2006, at 7:49 PM, Rob Kelley wrote: Hi Ming: Good to hear your opinion.

Re: [nycwireless] Getting the right Linksys for Supernode (WRT54GL)
Ming, What are you basing this statement on? I've used many revisions of the 54G and the new 54GL and have never had the problem you highlight. Neither have many other users of this particular Linksys product. Furthermore, Netgear is not really supported for using with OpenWRT. I believe that the people behind the project are working on additional compatibility, but the Linksys WRT-54GL is still the most widely used router and the one with the best support for OpenWRT. If you have been having a particular problem, please be specific. Perhaps people on this list can help you. Also, earlier Linksys firmwares have had some of the issues you indicate, but to the best of my knowledge, these have been resolved by upgrading your firmware from Linksys. I am unaware of this type of problem when using OpenWRT.
