[clue-tech] Request for Comments: Wireless repeater

[Mike Stanczyk]

My mother keeps asking me for technology.  She uses her neighbor's wireless
to get on the internet, with permission thankfully.  The connection is near
the limit for her nearly G wireless laptop.

So she needs a wireless repeater.  My first impulse is a Linksys dd-wrt
flashed router in a repeater mode.  Not a problem.

But before I ship it, I'd thought I ask around for comments.  Different
hardware is a possibility but I'd like something that could be reconfigured
back to a standard router later on.

Different software is a possibility too.  I'm not set on dd-wrt, it's just
the first thing that jumps to mind.

Oh and remote support is high on the list.  My mom is not that technical.
She's learning but anything more complicated than programming her vcr and
she's lost.

thanks!
Mike
