I'm a fan of the airport extreme / express. Native support for client roaming, native support for IPv6, and NAT-PmP and GDP. Whenever I buy a cheap-o linksys or dlink or whatever... I find some clients work well, and others have difficulty locking on to the signal. I find the linksys/dlink etc cheap-o waps tend to crash more ... I put them on a light switch timer to reboot them nightly. Even if I install DD-WRT or something like that, it's still cheap junk hardware. For that matter, there are some limitations of DD-WRT that I care about, such as not supporting client roaming, not supporting IPv6, and not supporting NAT-PmP and GDP. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
