It's a bit convoluted in the setup. They try to make it too easy with an automated configurator, but after finding the built in web pages, I had it set up in no time. I'm using it as a simple AP, not as a router.</span><br><br>A fellow IT admin had recommended them. <br><br>An interesting feature is the built in USB port that you can access as a SAN. Not sure I want to put my VM datastore on it, but it was... interesting.<br><div> </div><span style="font-family: courier;">--- </span><br style="font-family: courier;"><span

Currently using a Linksys access point, but it's only Wireless G.<br><br>In the past I have used a wireless router set with a static IP and DHCP server turned off to serve as an access point.<br><br>Considering upgrading to Wireless N and for the price I figure I might as well just buy another router rather than an access point.<br>I use a Smoothwall as my primary firewall.<br><br>So I'm looking for opinions on the reliability between Cisco and Buffalo.<br>The Buffalo has two advantages that I can see.<br>#1 - gigabyte NICs<br>#2 - dd-wrt firmware<br><br>Both can be had with dual external antennas (MIMO)....<br>I just have a feeling that the 'quality' of Linksys has been declining since Cisco bought them.<br><br>Oh, by the way, if anyone is interested...<br>I have a couple items to sell:<br>#1 - Linksys WRT54G version 8 -- $25<br>[I was using it as a second access point, but I don't need the extended coverage lately]<br><br>#2 - Craftsman 14.4v cordless
drill, one good battery, $20 <br>key-less chuck with a clutch, single speed<br>[the second battery needs to be 'rebuilt' which would cost around $50 at Batteries Plus.]<br><br>----------<br>Todd Young<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br><a ymailto="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org" href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org">tclug-list@mn-linux.org</a><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list">http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list</a></span><br></div></div>
