Reliable Wireless AP's

[John Feole]

I'll second that recommendation..I'm got a dual access pointsetup at 
home that i use daily for office tele-commute, also running the 
dd-wrt.com firmware..

Very dependable..I just bought the second router, wrt54gl, which is NOT 
sold retail..Ordered it from newegg.com..all the firmware details are here:

and after flashin the original wrt54g v2.2, and the new wrt54gl, I set 
the 2 routers up  with WDS setup from here:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WDS_Linked_router_network

works great..

the wifi clients are a mix of winxp, Ubuntu 6.10, and macosx..no issues 
with any of these OS's..

Linksys WRT-54G running the DD-WRT firmware.

I've had mine for a couple years now, LOVE it.. Does everything I want 
and more, and since I can boost the power I have great range as well.

Just make sure you get the right version of the hardware that will work 
properly with DD-WRT

kind of
what I'm aiming for.  I've been replacing cheap home APs/routers too often
lately and have had two fail in my office recently.  Serving only a few
people, maybe, at a time, wireless access points from a big name like Cisco
seem like overkill.  While they may be more reliable, ther prohibitive 
price
tags are just not worth it here.

Has anyone had any good experience with spending in the range of $100 or 
so on
an access point or router that offers something in the way of reliability
more than the cheap $30-40 range equipment?  I'm not overly concerned with
features, so long as 128-bit WEP is supported, especially since I'll use it
only as an access point, not a router.

Thanks,
