For $90 I suggest the Asus WL-500G Premium V2: <A HREF="http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=274475">http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=274475</A><BR>

<BR>
240MHz CPU<BR>
8MB flash<BR>
32MB RAM<BR>
*very* easy to flash with low risk of bricking.<BR>
2 USB 2.0 ports<BR>
A serial port (open up unit and soldering required)<BR>
A JTAG port.<BR>
<BR>
In Christchurch <A HREF="http://cbcnz.com">http://cbcnz.com</A> were selling them cheaply.<BR>
<BR>
The main downside is the stable wireless driver is only available for the 2.4 kernel.<BR>
<BR>
I have a WL-520gu which costs the same, but has less features. I plugged an arduino into the USB port and burned firmata onto it. On the router I installed Python, pyserial, and pyduino without trouble. Worked well (although I blew my motor drivers last year and haven't got aruond to fixing it yet!)<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>

Hi
I notice there have been a few people interested in hacking wireless
routers for robotics recently. I just came across Netgear WGR614L for
$89.99 at <A HREF="http://www.firstin.co.nz/product.asp?ProdID=1605">http://www.firstin.co.nz/product.asp?ProdID=1605</A>.

Just thought some of you may be interested.
