Re: Wireless routers+100! Having been the network guy for a college for over 12 years I can say that the real, enterprise class Cisco products and the Apple Airport Extreme products work exceptionally well. The 4th Gen Airport Extreme can be found on eBay for $50 - I have not tried the newer models but expect theyd do just as well. As far as using them for wireless in my live sound rig, one of the things I really like with the Airports is that you can very easily set up a bridge between access points. I have 1 in my FOH rack and 1 in each amp rack with all 3 set as a bridge for a single SSID. It reduces wiring between my Soundcraft Si Performer at FOH and the stage as well as wiring between iTechs in the amp racks. I can go just about anywhere and control the Si with my iPad or go just about anywhere and manage the amps from my laptop.
