Rangan, I remember the Linksys routers used to drop connection, as soon as 33-34 clients were logged in, and as Bryan mentioned we got much better perfomance with the readily available Taiwanese brand of APs. With a Linksys 25 odd clients works just fine though with heavy traffic.
With the Linksys WRT54G /L/S variants, its important to note the version (eg 5.1/ v6/ v8) and chip used (Atheros/ Broadcom) as only certain versions support full funtionality, with opensourced firware. Here's a good table to refer to: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices Cheers, Dev On 3/10/09, Rangan Srikhanta <ran...@laptop.org.au> wrote: > > Folks, > > > > Here at OLPC AU, we are using Linksys WRT54GLs using DD-WRT and configuring > the routers to act as an AP according to the following instructions. > http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point > > > > I found I could turn the WRT54GL into the required AP mode in 10minutes, > using an XO. > > > > In our first round of deployments we will be only using WRT54GLs, and after > speaking to Dev, will be working on 1 for every 25. > > > > Thx, > > > > Rangan > > > > *From:* server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org [mailto: > server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org] *On Behalf Of *Reuben K.
