[MLB-WIRELESS] Recommendations for openwrt to do client mode

[Peter Buncle]

Hi,

I haven't tried those units for tx power, but I'd imagine that's
pointless if
they're still using the deaf broadcom chipset.

I prefer the wl500g premium, it also has a Replaceable mini-pci radio so
you can even use 5gig 
(as I have done for a 14klm link on 5gig)

But upto what suits your needs best,

For me I wanted a cheap, very flexable base that we could stanardise on
with 
The ability to customise. For this the wl500g premium is perfect.

But that's just my opinion....


Peter

As far as I know the WL-550gE has a higher power radio chip (Don't hold
me to this.. the box does claim 300% coverage over other 802.11g
devices), and I think I've read it elsewhere too in my travels. It's
meant to have good receive sensitivity at the least, so maybe couple it
(r your 500GP) with an amplifier.

The WL550GE is only $75 at MSY.
