I am running with two Linksys WRT54G v 4 routers (Sveasoft Talisman 1.2
RC2) via WDS sometimes with WPA2 and sometimes with WEP. Talisman 1.2 RC2
still has some bugs....... I attach my eCS boxes directly to the second
router for the WPA2 encryption (well right now WEP). One of these days,
my supply of WRT54G routers will run out - only 3 left; I used some for my
family & friends.
Questions for your Wi-Fi presentation - no need to answer here. (1) what
routers are you recommending that handle 802.11a - WRT54G do not handle
802.11a. (2) for (1) what firmware?
(3) in theory routers from different brands should connect if they have
the capability with WDS; the reality I believe is problematic unless the
routers have the same firmware. True or false? (4) What would you
recommend if one has different routers which fail to connect via WDS, what
other option would you recommend. (5) what websites are you referring your
clients to antennaes? Are you focusing on the router antennae or adding a
PCCARD to say a laptop and then adding an external antennae? (6)
amplification of signal seems less a priority than antennaes. In what
situation are you cranking up the routers power signal? Thanks.
