I remember when this tech was new and SNB (among others) did some tests showing the tech was meh. Now, seeing how it has matured, I took your advice and checked it out. Your mention of 70Mbs is pretty tempting after all. ;) Problem is we're in an old 1920s apartment building and our power...

:eek: I didn't think we'd be looking at a "real world" of 1-2Mbps on the far end, but now looking back at the 802.11g spec I see you're right! THANK YOU for noticing (ditto on how to spot a non-WDS repeater). We'd already placed our order for the EnGenius ecb 3500 at a nearby e-tailer (Mwave)...

Been researching several products from Netgear, Buffalo, TRENDnet and more (especially the Cisco WAP2000 and D-Link DWL-3200AP). Based on price, user feedback, performance, features we've followed Heap's recommendation of an EnGenius ecb 3500 in large part because of it's massive signal...

Thanks for the advice Heap. I'm seriously considering trying out your recommendation of the ecb3500 (and researching other similar products. Got any recommendations on Hawking or other brands of repeaters/APs?). The focus on the Asus rt-n13u and Engenius esr9850 mostly came from Tim's reviews...

Edited: Advice please for a good wireless N indoor repeater Edit: as the thread has progressed, our focus has shifted towards finding a powerful wireless N indoor repeater; hopefully of the non-WDS variety. We'd like to keep our budget for the repeater in the $100 or less range. Also, given...

Wanted to say thanks for these two articles. We're looking to purchase a pair of repeaters/range extenders for our network and SNB's articles have really helped us narrow down our choices with a better understanding of what we need. I'll post the details in the Buying Advice forum, but...

Curious about this myself since we're considering the Asus rt-n13u as a repeater for our network in an apartment complex surrounded by over a dozen other wireless networks (including a few wireless snoopers).

We bought the WNDR3700 router back in October largely based on SNB's recommendation and have zero regrets. We don't use the 5GHz, but the USB/readyshare feature combined with an external hdd has been of great use till we can shell out the extra $$ for a decent NAS. Now we're looking to expand...
