Yeah,
Dear Unamed and Justin,
Different people got different set of tendency, thinking and aim. Cannot expect everybody got the same as yours. Read more pls, talk less.
DeLarafi,
We're using self made POE, 2 set utp. In one set utp got 2 pairs modem connection (rj45), 1pair for fan and 1pair for AP power. 1 more set is for two eth connection.

The great thing about ddwrt is, flexibility. I can simply tweak its certain feature to maximize its efficiency. That's why I used this ddwrt together with my external antenna.

To cover every corner of your house? Of course should be no problem if the position of the antenna is correct and config of your router match with your requirement.

It can goes up to 1km LOS, but around 400 NLOS. Can get surf smoothly even got one bar signal.

This guy aaa always promoting his 'so called a better firmware', do you really got the fabulous thingy one? ok pass it up to me then hehehehe

Hi David
Have you set the IP filter setting?
@ administration/management/IP filter setting
Maximum Ports ----------> 4096
TCP Timeout (in seconds)--->90 or 120
UDP Timeout (in seconds)--->90 or 120

Dave,
How bout port forward and Service Priority at QOS setting. Have you did it?
If it was already done, maybe need to ask expertise here. I've never use ddwrt for p2p.

Aahak...that's right, that kerbau cam best aje. But one thing to remember, promoting a lot for this Kerbau seems will raise the price high (one more thing, will make it easily in short of stock). Must have balance in term of demand between these products.

I went to Lowyat yesterday. My intention was to grab one kerbau, whether the HP series (MIMO) or the basic one.
Since I'm there, I was also ask the price for wrt54gl. To my surprise, the price is only RM215!!!. It dropped from RM250 a few months ago to RM215. (I asked it at czone). I wonder why is the linksys AP's price drop like that? Is it because of low demand or high competition with other's brand, which lead to that trend?

Eventually, I grab one kerbau with HP series and would like to flash it with ddwrt later. The price I got was RM210. Hmm, so cheap huh.

The good thing with kerbau HP is it comes with the mounting kit. Beside of smaller than the bulky linksys, it is so cute.
It worth for your money, compared to others AP with MIMO feature.

So, wanna have a try with this kerbau? 

I'm going to look for the original firmware first. Maybe there is a WDS featured in this original firmware.

--------------
Yes it bundled with WDS which can act as repeater.

I'd call you several time ma. U didn't pick up. Where have you been? So sorry
Went there with khairul. He asked to come along. Adhoc punye decision.

Yes the kerbau that i had bought is MIMO type (WHR-HP-G54). I think RM150 is for the normal one (WHR-G54S). That is PC fair price if not mistaken.

Below is the snapshot

Added on September 15, 2007, 1:06 pmThe g54 with the price RM210 is the HP type one(WHR-HP-G54), with high power (transmit power maybe). But the g54s per stated is the normal one, without high power. I'm not going through flashing with ddwrt yet. Later maybe.
BTW, where can you get this kerbau at Miri?

I don't believe it thats far.
Need to take a look in front of my eyes and I'll believe it then.
Unless the guy you've said using the highly super power wifi adapter or mod type one which can pulled your signal to him.

Added on September 26, 2007, 3:05 pmWhat kind of item did you ordered? Wanna tumpang sekaki, for indoor signal booster 500mW.

What do you expect, if a normal AP (TPO varies), connected to external 8.5 dbi OMNI directional antenna (NOT patch/directional) will performed? The fact is the signal strength decreased once the cable (depends on the length and type of cable) and connector were introduced.
It is almost impossible to reach 1km (without power booster and directional antenna) unless it is supported by the strength of wireless adapter - and also the correct position.
Note that, the adapter is not only listens (it is not a passive mode software/device like the netstumbler/kismet or wireless IPS-Airtight) but it is also performed transmit - duplex. Sorry for the term 'pulled' that I've said.
I would admit the performance if I see it in front of my own eyes (Maybe Azmihamzah is the lucky guy)

One more thing, the signal strength after flashed to ddwrt is lower than before flashed. Have you all noticed about this?
Last week I flashed my wrt54gs with RC3, but the signal tested with netstumbler is not same as before, which is much lower after flashed. So sorry to say it without picture.
I've tried increase the transmit on ddwrt, but nothing much changed in term of signal strength.

ps : Sorry azmihamzah, me ckp saja buat tak. Maybe I will shoot that type of kerbau for a testing.
