I currently have a 11g wireless bridge with a Netgear WPNT834 & WGPS606 for a relatively low-bandwidth connection between my home office (cable modem drop) & living room (HTPC).
I want to replace it with a cost-effective 11n bridge operating at 5Ghz. Since I can continue to use WPNT834 as a wireless AP, the new bridge can be a single radio dual band units configured for 5Ghz only.
I see that Netgear a pair of WNHDE111 (or WNHDEB111 kit) seems to be a most cost-effective solution. Maybe I can get a WNHDE111 and WNDR3300 since I need a router to connect multiple devices anyways.
The reviews for both of these here are not that great, especially some people are having frequent disconnects.
May be I would be better off with a pair of D-Link DAP1522 since I don't care about the legacy 11g.
I am not sure if Linksys WRT600/610 can operate in the bridging/WDS mode. They are much more expensive, so I think I am limited to these two choices so far.
The third choice is obviously to wait a while for something better/cheaper to come out.
Any thoughts?
