Re: [PLUG] dd-wrt wrt54gl pdq

While I haven't used dd-wrt in a while, I have a coworker that uses it in various locations for a mesh network and loves it. The downside (vs Ubiquiti) is that you don't get the single pane of glass to monitor your network, you have to managed each AP individually. There are plenty of reasons to use Ubiquiti, but there's also options like wifi repeaters that would cover the last 10 feet of your dead space.

Suggestions without mentioning ubiquiti is a disservice to this list. So, look to ubiquiti as many people have had pleasant experiences with them and should be in your general price point.

If you're willing to use OpenWrt instead of DD-WRT, the Netgear R6220
is quite inexpensive for its (hardware) feature set and runs OpenWRT
perfectly well.
