Hi Coco (Cocopod? Real name!?),<br><br>Excuse me jumping in the side of your conversation. Your router needs to be able to run OpenWRT to be able to run the wifidog gateway in its current form - and I don't think that'll change anytime soon. Buffalo DO make some compatible routers however most development/deployment work seems to have been done on Linksys WRT54G(L). Have a look at
<a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware">http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware</a> for a list of hardware OpenWRT can run on. This list is incomplete, but those marked with status "Supported" should be fine.
<br><br>You can run the auth server which accompanies the gateway, on any computer running apache (or other web server) php5 and postgresql. With 1000 deployed nodes and (presumably) more clients the load could be quite significant. Every gateway (deployed node) sends requests to the auth server regularly. I'd be interested to see how the auth server(s) respond with that many nodes deployed.
<br><br>I have found there are numerous very knowledgeable (no that doesn't necessarily include myself, but I'm trying to get up to speed) and helpful people involved in this project and WiFiDog sounds like a great solution for you.
