Guys,
I'm looking to replace my WAP54G (802.11bg) wireless access point. I
really need to get more speed to the wife's computer, and I don't want
to run wires.
I'm thinking I'd like to get something that DD-WRT can run on, and
possibly something with dual radios and/or dual 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz
band, so I can have a secured network, and an open, slower network for
guests.
My home network looks like this:
cable modem <---> router <----> GigE Lan switch <-- clients

WAP54G
Unfortunately, my router is only 100mb/s on each port, which is fine
for WAN access, and most wireless, but not any more. And I don't want
to replace it since it's a WRAP board from PC-engines running m0n0wall
and doing a *great* job for what I need. Silent, no moving parts,
easy to manage.
Mostly, I want a fast, secure wireless WPA2 home wireless network.
Maybe I'd keep the WAP54G around for public access... or maybe it's
time to bite the bullet and replace my WRAP board with something
better?
I'm looking at the following:
Netgear WNDR3700
Linksys E2000
Linksys WRT610N
ASUS RT-N16
BUFFALO WZR-HP-G300NH (native DD-WRT support from factory!)
Any hints or suggestions or feedback?
Thanks,
John
