If you really want tri-band then OpenWRT probably isn't going to work yet but if you're happy with 2 bands and want something likely better maintained than your stock firmware, that's something to consider. I've been using OpenWRT for years now and wont go back. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (21:2/101) .
