I did a hotel 4 years ago with all Linksys WRT54g's flashed with DD-WRT to use WDS. Guy was cheap so I picked up the Linksys for less than 50 bucks each and installed 6 of them in the hotel, 2 floors. Small place. Have them all set to reboot every day, use watchdog for resetting and I port forward into them all to monitor them. Out of all the installs I've done, that one is actually the most trouble free and was one of the cheapest. He liked it so much he asked to have an IP camera system put in. He paid plenty that time!

If that won't work due to either technical issues or the customer just plain doesn't want holes drilled, is WDS pretty much the only financially viable alternative that properly bridges the network? Could do a boat-load of PtP links, but that'd be silly. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
