<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I would have to add a plus one to
Chad's comments on DD-WRT. I've been using it here for at least
three years now with great success and a high degree of up time,
having them set using the same SSID much like Chad's setup. I'm
not going to bother to look up the hardware, because it's older
than what you'd want to consider (They're only pushing 802.11g),
but when I replace them I definitely will get something I can
flash with DD-WRT and continue to use it. It is just too feature
rich to pass up, reliable once it's installed and free software on
top of all that. <br>

I have 3 Asus RT-N16 routers running DD-WRT custom firmware
throughout the Franklin Library and 1 at the Springboro
branch. The DD-WRT firmware allows me to configure the routers
in a mesh network, while using the same SSID. For instance, I
have one router above our circulation desk near the ceiling,
one router at our reference desk, and one router in a
conference room – they all communicate with each other
wirelessly and act as a repeater so no matter where a device
connects, the signal strength is excellent. If a router would
fail or need to be power cycled, the other two would still
communicate with each other. I’ve had superb success with
these routers, they’re built pretty solid. DD-WRT firmware is
free but it doesn’t come stock with the routers. It needs to
be installed and configured which could take some time and
patience. Once I put them it, I’ve never looked back.<br>
