Picked up a Linksys WPS54G for $5 today.
The pro's:
-Inside, all but one of the caps are sanyo. One is a small teapo.
-They actually used a heatsink for once... Inside the construction looked good.
The neutral:
- The box says it was a refurb. Since it was a thrift store find, who gives crap?
The piss poor:
-It gets pretty hot. Now I see why they added a heatsink.
-To set it up, according to Linkshit*, you are FORCED* to use thier BS windoze only (AFAIK) setup utility... why no web based setup that any OS can use*? Poor OS compatibility and/or bullshitware is one of my biggest computer pet peeves. And you wonder why I dd-wrt all my routers...
*- halfway through the utility I found the IP address and there is indeed a web based utility... why couldn't they have made that more obvious? It wasn't in the manual... AssHoles!
I wonder if I can ddwrt the mofo... Probably not though...
