Setting up a wireless network., Help me decide which router to buy


Thread: Setting up a wireless network., Help me decide which router to buy

Hi.
Me and about 7 friends of mine want to set up a wireless netowork in our dorms to frag each other during the summer break. This is our first ever wireless networking endeavour, so please help us.

We have almost decided to buy the D-Link DI-624 wireless router and I have a few questions to ask, which are:

1) We already have our university wireless network setup in the dorms. Will our own router interfere with this network?

2) Will this router support at least 8 - 10 hosts over a distance of about 50 metres (We live in different rooms but on the same floor)?

3) Linux compatibility is desired, but not mandatory. Is this router linux compatible? What about un-official drivers/wrappers?

Please help me decide on this. Thanks.
