776718 2009-05-25 01:21:00 I'm really interested to know if anyone has experience of increasing the range of wireless connections using these, or other similar, devices. rugila (214)
776719 2009-05-25 01:23:00 How about WL-520GU/GC's with Tomato firmware set up as repeaters?

Cheap and easy:)

776720 2009-05-25 02:11:00 How about WL-520GU/GC's with Tomato firmware set up as repeaters?I'd like to know more about about comparative performances. The ones I mentioned do as far as I know have a pretty fair performance, but before paying up I'd like to know more.

A google search for WL-520GU/GC didn't throw up that much info.

I already have a couple of wireless routers, a Linksys WRT54G and an Apple Airport Express. I've set these up so either can be connected to the modem and either can be used a repeater. The total range is still limited, and with a repeater I need an intermediate power source.

I'm looking for a suitable long-range device, maybe 5km or more. Would your WL-520GU/GC's with Tomato firmware be able to handle that?
