I need a show router...

[Jeff Millard]

Any suggestions on a decent inexpensive wireless router? I don't want to spend more than $100. Need it to work well with RPP and as a show wifi mainly to play happy with ESPixel. I'm gonna put it in a box close to the house. Nothing wireless will be further than 60' from it.

OK. Wilmar, thank you for the link. Martin, I see in the DD-WRT Router DB, the part William linked is listed as "Nanostation M2 Loco" Is that what I need? If so, I'll get it on order.

Thank you both!

I meant to say FPP. Falcon Player for Raspberry Pi.

Ok I have a pi zero set up with FPP that tested fine with my nano stuff but I don’t know the dwrt stuff .

Yes that is a good choice.

The DD-WRT software allows significant configuration flexibility which has proven useful when tuning a show to work over WiFi.

On order. I see the activation for the DD-WRT is $22. Still well under $100. Thank you for the help. I was looking at this thing as a bridge. I trenched and ran 4" flex, then fiber to my shed to get the network out there. This would've been a bit less labor... But I also wouldn't have water out there, and an air line in from the compressor.

But it's not totally necessary if I'm only running an half dozen wireless devices? Less than a single universe total.
