      My old net work was running fine with Linksys wrt54g v1.1 (tomato).  This has died and now I have a temporary dlink dir615.  Network seems ok, but having problems with wireless connections to my second xbox which drops and can't connect frequently.  Suspect wireless range as I upped it on the old linksys with no problems.  Either that or there is too much interference on the channels.

      To restore my old setup, I could buy the new wrt54gl and put Tomato again.  Or I could buy the more renowned netgear wndr3700 and be done (hopefully).

      However, I come from a solaris background and want to tinker with pfsense.

      What would your suggestions be for a setup to get stable connections (wireless and wired) to a setup consisting of:
      2x wired
      4x wireless (2 xboxes)

      Using 10mb cable broadband.

      I was looking at thin clients, alix boards etc. but don't have a clue what I should be getting.

      I want good wireless range and preferable N for future.

      Not looking to spend loads on this and need a small electrical footprint for 24/7 usage.

      Thanks for advice.

        Go with an Alix board, they're reliable, inexpensive and rock solid with pfSense.
