Best current WAP/Router for any consoles and Lab Gruppen amps these days
Jeff Stielau:
Didn't see a current / quick answer for this anywhere.
Curious what others are using for the latest/greatest ( not breaking the bank ! ) Router OR wireless access point ( WAP ) for basic iPad control of their consoles ( Soundcraft Vi1 & family ) in my case.
May even need one for wireless access to the Lake Processors in our Lab Gruppen amps.
Seems the market is flooded with options these days.
Any advise appreciated !

How big is the bank?
Lots of solutions at about $100.
I am building a few hundred dollar system for my festival work.

I use 3:
WRT54GC - compact and portable, sits in the bottom of my bag and with me always. Good for short distances and very convenient. Saved my bacon many times.
WRT54GS - flashed with DD-WRT which among other things, allows me to up the power output to 250mW, so it has great range, but only 2.4G
Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 - 5Ghz long-range AP for more critical and long-distance usage.

Increasing broadcast power only changes half the path. The return path is often the weakest link in the chain.

Of course. Still get great range though. Certainly better when I upped it's power...
