They have previously used: Linksys WRT54G (pre-v5) WRT54GL WRT54GS WRT54GSv4 Buffalo WZR-RS-G54 WHR-HP-54 WHR-G54S However, this new batch may be made by Accton Technology. On June 7, 2006 Accton announced that it signed an agreement with FON for the production of WiFi base stations and related products. Edit: According to Dr Nathan's link they are made by Accton _________________

i know that the broadcast power of the new fon routers are only 63mW. which is quite small compared to 251mW potential of a WRT54G. im interested as to what kind of distance can be achieved with this newer fon router

Well the stock Xmit power for a WRT is 28 mW so I bet it'll do just fine.

It sounds like some research on overclocking and cooling is in order...
