Re: [Nolug] Recommendation for Wireless Access Point

For what it's worth (and it may not be worth much, depending on your
needs), I've had really good luck with the Linksys WRT54GL running
the DD-WRT firmware that allows it to run as a repeater. If speed is
your main issue, it may be a no-go, but if coverage or security is
the issue, at $60 bucks a piece, you can get a few going for less
money than one Aironet. I've not compared them side-by-side though.
