[WLANware] 802.11n hardware recommendations

[Mike Dawson]

Hi All,

I've tried quite some googling and hunting but haven't yet found
anything on this (in English)...

I'm looking to try and establish a new Freifunk 802.11n network using
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and was considering the Linksys wrt610n.  As far
as I can see OpenWRT should run fine on it:

The other nice thing about it is it takes 12V unlike other routers
which only take 5V; which should make it easier when it comes to solar
/ battery backup power etc.

Anyone have any results with 802.11 dual band equipment?  Any
indicative throughput?  I will be testing out a mesh of about 10 nodes
all within relatively close range of each other.

I will of course write up results on the wiki and do whatever I can
for documentation - already did a little work on the English pages /
getting started info etc.

Cheers,

-Mike

PS: Planning to use this for another One Laptop Per Child school
setup; all for the kids again :)
