I need a dedicated Access Point / Wireless Bridge combination that is capable of supporting a consistent throughput of at least 60 Mbps to a single client device. The access point would be wired to my main switch and the client device would be wired to the bridge. My priorities in order of decreasing importance are:
1. Maximize throughput: At least 60 Mbps CONSISTENTLY
2. Maximize reliability
3. Maximize ease of setup (but not at the expense of the above)
4. Minimizing cost would be nice, but not at the expense of any of the above
Security is not important, but in order to maximize throughput, I would like to minimize the overhead associated with other devices trying to connect to this access point (or actually connecting to it) instead of connecting to our primary wireless network where those other devices belong. Only one device will be connected through this dedicated bridge.
From your tutorial on WDS, that sounds like a good possibility, and from your reviews I thought a pair of Asus EA-N66 might be a good choice, but I really want to hear what you think will work best.
