Re: USR2450 implimentation

As I found on inet, wep is quite useless anyway. it takes about 1-3 days to
hack in.

you can use cipe which is supposed to be secure.  and is more or less
implemented in latest flash.
(it is same as ipsec)

I use unsecure network, and performance is still bad, 16mhz(bogomips) cpu is
capable for 350kbytes/s

if you set it to 32mhz it can transfer little more than 400kbytes/s but
requires heatsink on cpu.

this is between same type aps (USR2450)

USR2450 was capable to receive 500kbytes/s
and transmit 350kbytes/s tcp traffic for me.

since it is not duplex it decreases speed about 30% or teoretical maximum
