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.

I get a kick out of this. It seems that the cheap router manufactures
take turns being the worst. Note I say the worst because none are the
best - even in their class. So far, the best solution seems to be
using dd-wrt on a linksys.

Interesting...

We standardized on Netgear after too many problems with Linksys and
D-Link...

I have found Ingram Micro to be more expensive than Newegg every time, with the exception of that 5% off we got. This is only on Linksys gear, we have had too many problems with D-Link, Netgear, Belkin etc.... We standardized on only selling the WRT54GL anymore. Charge the customer $90 installed, we'll replace it and handle the RMA during the first year. Once we explain that we've found these to be the best bang for the buck most customers will
purchase them.

I wouldn't count on a discount from a reseller like Newegg... go to one of
the distributors like Ingram Micro...  there are four options:

When I had my own company as a side job thing I had an account with a disty (I can't recall who) so I could get better pricing on D-link gear... made it so I could sell it much cheaper to my end users (granted Best Buy et. Al. also got those mail in rebates which I didn't... so they could work out in
the long run being cheaper on a one/two scale)

The WRE54G is out of stock at Newegg, also, don't count on saving much on larger orders. We order WRT54GL's, the biggest discount we got was
5% when we ordered 150 of them, and they won't do that anymore.

Here is the Linksys solution:
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WRE54G

Looks like its $100 MSRP... I bet you could purchase them in larger
orders for cheaper to resell though.  But it plugs straight into the
outlet...
small form factor.  Not 802.11a though.

RouterOS.  We can ship it configured to connect to your AP and
rebroadcast :)  This is the simplest way.  We can do this with MESH
setups, routed or bridged :)
