> dd-wrt does a good job of this. I've bought a few dd-wrt preinstalled > access points off ebay with good results. +1 on a WRT54GL with dd-wrt firmware installed. Additional advantages: 1. The dd-wrt firmware allows you to raise the WiFi signal power. The default is 42mW on the WRT54GL. You can go up to 70 without creating other problems. Notably, 70 is the default on the dd-wrt firmware. 2. You can reconfigure the router for other purposes as your needs change. You may find that at the new strength, you may only need one AP. 3. dd-wrt has other nice features, e.g., QoS for a house with VoIP. There is also another major 3rd party firmware to consider, Tomato. http://lifehacker.com/344765/turn-your-60-router-into-a-user+friendly-super+router-with-tomato _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
