I have about a dozen of these units running at various locations all are flashed with OpenWRT. The benefits for me are the ability to run a single antenna and reduced power (both necessary to use amplification). The GL routers are a snap to upgrade, just boot the Linksys firmware and use the Linksys web interface to upgrade the code. Very nice and easy. No hacking to set boot_wait or anything like that.
OpenWRT is also a snap to set up in mesh and repeater modes. Bridge mode is fairly straight-foward as well, just read up on the "wet" or "sta" modes. Greg On 11/6/06, Steve Litt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In my situation, it looks to me like the problems are in the wireless NICs, not the access point (of course I could be wrong). Isn't flashing your hardware rather risky? If you didn't like OpenWRT, could you put it back to the factory firmware?
