[MLB-WIRELESS] WRT54GS

[Winder]

Hey Rob,

 Mind telling me which of the chips get hot? I was thinking of adding some
heatsinks myself, as I heard that these things burn out. I was also
wondering if you up the output power, which of the chips suffers? Hopefully
not the little one inder the metal shiedling, that would be a bugger to put
a heat sink on ;)

Regards,
g at z.

Regarding WRT54G(S)
- pigtails: They use rgTNC connectors. I have 0.5m pigtails in stock,
and can custom make any length.
- enclosures

See my www site: http://store.freenet-antennas.com

The WRT54GS enclosure has been popular - I have exported them to USA and
Europe. As a suggestion...when I mount a WRT54G(S) in an enclosure - I
add heatsinks to the two chips in the WRT54G(S) that get hot...assuming
it will keep them a little cooler when mounted outside.

I also have weatherproof POE cables. They have the same jacket as the
antenna cable (Poly Ethylene) which means sun/rain proof.

Sorry for the shameless plug - but some of these items are hard to get -
so thought the MW group would all like to know.
