Hello everyone. I have kind of taken it upon myself to update the network over the past year at my fraternity house and it has finally come down to setting up wireless. We really don't have a huge house but the way it's built is not very compatible with wireless. I have cinderblock walls, poured concrete on top of sheet metal supported by large metal beams. The house is a nightmare for interference and 3 floors of it. My best guess for the number of users who would use the wireless is maybe.... 20 at most. I have a machine running ipcop as our main router in the house so DHCP for the wireless is taken care of. I am looking for 4 or 5 wireless G access points that are cheap but will allow roaming, SNMP, WPA and WPA2. I looked around and access points cost a lot more then a router does. Is there any way I can use a linksys WRT54G or similar router as a simple access point? If there are suggestions for any other make or model of router that would be appreciated too. I have read about using DD-WRT to "beef up" routers per say. Would this maybe be a viable option for this task? Any help and suggestions that anyone can offer would be very welcome, even criticism if its constructive.
Thanks for your time,
