Re: [WISPA] 802.11 a, b, g booster
Personally I prefer the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. It's more powerful, more sensitive and more stable. I've used a number of them. I normally use the Tomato firmware if I'm using them as APs or WDS APs. In that role they seem to have better performance (throughput) with the Tomato firmware versus the dd-WRT. The Tomato firmware does very good QoS. Today I just had the need to have one be a client to a Nanostation and I found that the Tomato software wouldn't connect as client (to any AP). I had to put on dd-WRT and use the client bridge mode. I'm using the WHR-HP-G54 in this case because I need the switch ports for a number of devices. But if I was just expanding the network I think I'd use Nanostations or Picostations in WDS.

It doesn't appear the DIR-655 supports tftp firmware flashing. Too bad, that might have been a way to revert to the older firmware. Another reason to say with the more open source Linux based boxes.

[WISPA] City Tower Shelter Agreement
Does anyone happen to have an agreement they are willing to share between an ISP and a city or county for access to a tower shelter. All I need is access to a couple of electrical outlets in their shelter. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 802.11 a, b, g booster
Buffalo gear was very hard to find in the US for the last few years, due to the legal action against them. I see that was changed in December, and you can buy Buffalo wifi gear again. Has anyone used the WHR-G300N? That one is draft N, plus you can load dd-wrt on it (I think that is unusual for N routers) About $50 at Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162026 On Apr 28, 2009, at 10:57 AM, os10ru...@gmail.com wrote: Personally I prefer the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. It's more powerful, more sensitive and more stable. I've used a number of them. I normally use the Tomato firmware if I'm using them as APs or WDS APs. In that role they seem to have better performance (throughput) with the Tomato firmware versus the dd-WRT. The Tomato firmware does very good QoS. Today I just had the need to have one be a client to a Nanostation and I found that the Tomato software wouldn't connect as client (to any AP). I had to put on dd-WRT and use the client bridge mode. I'm using the WHR-HP-G54 in this case because I need the switch ports for a number of devices. But if I was just expanding the network I think I'd use Nanostations or Picostations in WDS.

Re: [WISPA] 802.11 a, b, g booster
Maybe I am just missing something here but why in the world would you want to buy a bunch of SOHO routers and re-flash them to another OS? I have seen this thread before on here and didn't have time to ask the reason. I have no time to mess with taking every unit out of a box and flash and test then reseal it and go to the next. I buy 20 Trendnet SOHO 802.11G basic routers for $28 each and drop them in the trucks. Never had a bad one, they all come with a 5ft cable and just work. If a customer wants a router then they pay $45. If they need better distance than I get them a N router later. Last thing I want to do is mess with them all. Heck I hate programming radios. I am working on a plan to just stack Tranzeo's in the truck and upload the config from the laptop. DLink = Lock up all the time at lease the WBR-1310, 30 min no power to reset. Have a pile in back room Linksys = WRT54G ok but had 20 die in one month right at 2 years Buffalo = was good all but the WHR-G125(junky design poor signal) didn't know was available again.

Re: [WISPA] 802.11 a, b, g booster
Agreed. For a freebie router that's just to give a customer wireless it's not worth the bother. But if you have to do WDS on the customer side or if the user is a special client/family/friend and you are trying to do something a little different or special the other firmwares sometimes offer features that are necessary.

Re: [WISPA] NTIA mapping
Chris, It is my understanding that this bill was specifically written for Connected Nation. In a conversation today in Indianapolis I was told that if you divide $350 million by 50 states you get $7,000,000 per state. This is approximately 80% of the $9,000,000 contract they recently signed with Ohio or Tennessee. The 80% number coincidentally matches up with the current thinking on the Broadband Stimulus Grants with 20% coming from the awardees and 80% coming from the Federal Government. If this assumption is correct, it didn't take Connected Nation long to come up with a number to present to the legislators that sponsored the bill. I'm not saying that this funding won't be allocated to other grantees but I have been told that it will be extremely difficult to buck this legislation given the current political clout that Connected Nation seems to have. That is not to say that the states themselves will get control of the funding and will make those decisions separately.

Re: [WISPA] NTIA mapping
Amen Rick I've always maintained the thought that the 350 Million was another back door political payback to the Telco and cable companies via Connected Nation. With the fact that this funding gets put out there and then the data never really becomes available because of the NDA's signed, it just smells like a pork barrel project to me. Your explanation just backs up that idea. If you want to map broadband, go to a small organization like myself. We can do the work for tenths of a penny on the dollar these guys are quoting. You just build that cost in to the rest of your stimulus project and move on. Trying to take on Connected Nation is a losing battle. Just step around them and move forward..there are plenty of ways to map the competitive broadband in a market without proprietary data and you can successfully do it to convince the organizations that are handing out money.

Re: [WISPA] Nifty Outdoor Switch..
Yes, I see that. It is a neat product, but not of much use for our needs. First, because it only has five ports. Second, because it's a switch and we prefer to route. Gino and I were just day dreaming of a more esoteric multi-port DC Injector on steroids. Not really holding my breath that we'll ever see such a critter...possibly due to guys like cough Travis cough that would only put a $19.95 value on something like it. grin For better or worse (mostly better, other than the cost) our typical HUB site equipment is located in the roof penthouse or designated radio room inside a cabinet, so outdoor gear other than the antennas or radios themselves is not required in most cases for us. That is why I was hoping for a rack mount multi-port PoE device with a feature set similar to what Gino I outlined earlier in this thread.
