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?
