I had/have the same setup as Philbert.

I got a omnidirectional at the house and a patch antenna at the shop. Antennas are good but the linksys router and AP are crap. WRT54G and WAP54G

What are some good substitutes for these.

When ever the power goes out ( storms,etc ) I gotta jump through hoops to get them to talk to each other again.

I need something that will reboot and connect/communicate by itself. I don't wanna babysit the darn things all the time.
