 We've got a WDS mesh setup on WRT54GS's here internally with the
HyperWRT firmware, and we're able to roam fairly seamlessly with the
Linksys WIP300 and the Zyxel phones. The F1000 from UTStarcom gets a
little cranky while you're on a call and go from one to the other. The
Linksys WIP300 does support WPA and 802.11g. We got all of the
aforementioned equipment from VoipSupply.com.
