[Cialug] Wireless APs

[Tim Wilson]

I've been using the Asus WL-520GU router running the Tomato firmware.  It's
not bad, the one problem I had with it was after a power outage, the
wireless didn't come back up.  I had to connect in and restart the wireless
service.  That, and the fact that the antenna isn't dog-proof...

But I'm also running a pretty vanilla setup.  No mesh or PoE.  I do plan on
hooking a printer up to the USB port though.  That's why I chose the Tomato
firmware.  Supposedly, it supports the USB port.
