I see from the D-Link web site
http://support.dlink.com/products/dwl900ap+.asp
that there are 3 different hardware revisions of the 900AP+
From the above link I can tell that Rev C has the ARM9 processor whereas the A&B only have
the ARM7. My questions are:

- any real difference between the 3 revisions?
- if so, should I be only looking for the Rev C 900AP+ assuming that the latest is the
best?

I am looking to buy 2 900AP+ units and it is hard to find/get those rev C units. Either
the walk-in places only have the A/B or the online places do not know/do not reply back.
Anybody know where I can buy a rev C 900AP+ (2 actually) on-line?

Thanks,

Bought one each from Newegg and Amastore. Both the new models. Bought to
use the repeater function, which I just hooked up. Went from 50% signal
strength to 80%. I'm happy, I guess.

The remote computer, using a DLink 520+, and the DLink software.

Hi Airman,
I am thinking of buying a DWL 520+ for homemade antenna testing, a load of
customers at ebuyer.co.uk are complaining about it crashing their system, do
you find this?

Cheers

Rob

Did you get the link up yet? Any trees in the line of sight that you
had to worry about? I'm looking at the antennas available and the
nil-jon antennas for 2.4ghz (wifi-plus.com) seem to be the best, but
I'm not finding many resources/reviews on them. I'd love to here what
kind of results and throughput you're getting over that 3 mile link,
and from what antenna heights.
