T42 wireless access point - recommendations

#1 Post by quarx » Thu Nov 04, 2004 6:39 pm

Hi folks !

Last friday I ordered my first ThinkPad T42 - 2373CVG via a student account. Looks like it will take 1-2 weeks till joy begins. Till then I'm killing time by checking for all the necessary equipment I will need besides (rest of the time browsing this great forum and/or praying not to get any stuck pixels :wink:).
So for that, I'm currently searching for an wlan access point and am wonderding if you can give me any suggestions. My Router is a Netgear FR114P and i've currently an eye on th Netgear ME103 http://www.netgear.com/products/details/ME103.php. But I would preffer an AP which supports the 802.11g standard fully. Also I need VPN support.

thanks for your comments and greez,
quarx

Linksys wrt54g or wrt54gs are great routers. Spend $20 on the sveasoft beta firmware and you'll be very happy. I have no complaints, but then again I never have used the wireless yet but i only hear good stuff about that. The firmware adds so much stuff to the router its amazing. www.sveasoft.com for the firmware info.

I use the WRT54GS with the stock firmware, thru wifi every day, all day long. It's great and has NEVER given me any problems yet. It's never dropped out, or had a slow connection. it's been 100% every single day, etc. So, I'd recommend it from personal use.
