[robocup-legged] Wireless access point/router for AIBOs

[Michail G. Lagoudakis]

I was wondering what kind of wireless access points or routers people 
are using to connect to their AIBOs. We are using a LinkSys WRT54G for 
our ERS7 (2 Mind2 and 2 Mind3) and it gives us all kinds of problems, 
apart from being extremely slow. Could some teams suggest brands/models 
that have been tested and are known to work well?

Also, we noticed differences between DHCP and static IP address 
assignment. Static in general is more reliable, whereas with DHCP more 
than half the time, the AIBOs do not get an address. In parallel, we 
connected two laptops wirelessly and we had no problem at all. It seems 
to me that the card on the ERS-7 is somewhat weak.

Another difference we noticed is when DHCP is relayed by the access 
point to another DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is performed by the 
access point itself there is higher chance of getting an address.

We will appreciate any help.
