[mythtv-users] 802.11g router with VPN for wlan

[DanM]

Harondel, from what I have heard from people, concrete reduces the 
signal considerably.  If you have to go thorough 3 floors, you may need 
to get a repeater.

Rather than the straight "G", have you considured the Super G stuff? 
D-Link and NetGear use the Atheos Super G chip.  Super G bonds two "g" 
channels to give you 108 mbs instead of 54 mbs.

Anyone on the list have any experience with the super G stuff?  Are 
their any drivers for it under linux?  How well does the linuxant stuff 
work?
