Buffalo needs to figure out a way to bring their routers back State-side. WTF? I'm aware of their legal issues. But, I think they put out some good routers.
I agree...I can't keep installing those expenseive Linksys-GL routers with Tomato or DD-WRT. Buffalo was my best source of inexpesive flashable routers.
Does anyone know if there are any comparable routers that can handle router/bridge feature? In similar price range of course. I'm using 3 Buffalo routers right now. One in the basement set to the router position and two more in bridge position that I have connected to one pc on the first floor, and an Xbox on the 2nd. But, I'd love to get another one to use in the bridge position as well and use on another Xbox on the first floor. My units are pretty much in opposite extremes of the house, so running wires is not an option. And, I don't feel like paying MS $100 for some p.o.s. wireless adapter. I rather get a Buffalo.
@Rob, I'm using a Buffalo Ethernet Converter on one Xbox360, then on the other 360s I used two older Linksys routers that I flashed with dd-wrt to turn them into bridges (connecting to my Buffalo router). The Buffalo was much easier to setup with the AOSS but with a little work I turned two routers (I was going to throw out) into working bridges; and the performance is just fine.
