Re: [SLUG] Re: [chat] WiFi AP, is WRT54G the way to go ?

2010-07-13 Thread Mike
I've had a good experience with an Asus and openwrt. It was only wireless g cos 
was a while back but I'm sure there's n solutions the same. I just went to 
wikipedia looked up openwrt and looked up asus routers and got a compatible 
one, most info was literally on wikipedia. Other options are gargoyle, tomato 
firmware and (closed source) ddwrt.

 Hi Voytek
 
 You may want to pick something with open source support that is more
 modern.
 
 For example a Netgear or an Asus.
 
 Without knowing your requirements, i cant recommend a more specific model.
 
 However the faster cpu, wireless-N and possibly gigabit ports may be
 worth a few extra dollars to you.

 I need to setup a WiFi access to a small LAN, if I recall from past

 what version(s) of WRT54G to get/not get ?
 what third party firmware should I look at ?
 whilst I don't envisage needing anything beyond what standard device
 provides, I don't mind trying some new stuff to see
