AirTunes/Airport Express, WEP, and Netgear routers
Authored by: wirehead on Oct 20, '04 05:54:59PM

I am the original author of this post.

I gave up on the netgear, it worked superb but if the AirTune units were more than 30-50 feet away they would disappear from the network alot, unless i power cycled them or the netgear. Close range it worked fine. It was not 'wife friendly' as she demands 100% apple uptime. Its a limitation of the radio strength in this unit for sure.

It was time to spend the money and get a cheap linksys, install the sveasoft firmware. My first linksys blew up after an hour hence the netgear took its place...alas its round two....Now I have a $87 Linksys router that does VPN, SSH, Traffic Shaping, can bost power output past 28mw on the radio, supports WDS, etc and is very future proof with open source linux firmware loaded with features...

wirehead,

Thank you so much for your post on connecting Airport Express to Netgear wireless products. It truly saved me a ton of time.
