What about standards compliance?  Are they compatible with 802.11x?

Neither 802.1x or 802.11 compliance is a problem on BelAir gear (not 
completely sure which one you meant)

I've got access to manuals (that aren't available publicly), if you'd 
like for me to shoot you those offline.

 Hi,

 I'm looking for a recommendation on an Ethernet router (two ports or

 Something that will do some basic QoS would be nice. Any suggestions?

Re: [WISPA] routers

I was hoping to find something a little more "user friendly", as the
company buying isn't real tech savvy. Something with a nice web gui and
easy to understand settings.

Mikrotik's 400 series routers are very good for this purpose.  They 
are, in my opinion, better in most respects than either of the 
devices you mention, but cost is between your numbers.  ;-)  You can 
get from 1 to 9 ethernet ports for less than $200 with all the power 
you need to run good QOS management.  Another alternative, though 
I'm not sure it would fit in the price model you mention, is 
ImageStream.  They have all the power of Linux with the benefit of 
tested package interactions.  VERY nice solution.

Find the hardware platform and look at m0n0wall, Smoothwall, 
ClarkConnect and ipCop.  Any of those are very good/easy to use. 
I'm forgetting how many ethernet ports you needed, but these 
software choices are all very nice AND easy.

Re: [WISPA] routers

2008-09-21 Thread RickG
Consumer routers are going to be the death of me. I've tried almost
all of them. Every year the off the shelf retailers take turn
providing the better unit, or worst unit depending on how you look at
it. As Travis said, consumers are not techies and can only handle a
browser configurable router that doesnt cost over $100. To that end,
you would think there would be a good unit that can do the simple job
asked of it. So far, the winner this year is the Linksys WRT310N
Wireless-N Gigabit Router. I've been installing them all year and so
far no problems. BTW: The cheaper WRT54G series suck.
