If you are asking to me
Hello All,
If you were given the responsability to decide between TP Link or
Linksys for a large mesh deployment (500 Houses)
knowing that, you have first to customise the OS.
you have to install in the TP link or Linksys :
- Openwrt,DHCP,DNS,
- Raduis server, database
- Asterisk
- webserver with a social application
- Script (shell) interpretor or terminal
What will be your technical and commercial reseaons or arguments.
Thank you all.

You are refering to manufacturers, vs actual units so difficult to comment.
Besides actual cpu/mem specs, my take would always be the flexability
of open source vs a closed source OS.

it will be like a POP (Point of Presence) in houses, where users could make call in the house through asterisk, communicate with equipements at home through mails, but also share pictures with various neighbours and equipement.
For instance, imagine equipements at home tweeting and facebooking using the platforms (social network, web portal, voip, etc..) on my Router's OS ( OpenWRT).
I dont not if i hve explained the question ...
Thank you for your replies ..

you have to be aware that embedded WiFi devices are limited with regards to RAM and CPU performance. You can certainly run all the stuff that you mentioned, but take into account that most current devices supported be the Atheros AR71XX port of OpenWrt have only 4MB flash and 32MB RAM. You can extend the flash with a external USB storage, but adding more RAM requires advanced soldering practize and the ability to modify the bootloader.
So you have to run a small webserver and a small database software which is happy with a small amount of resources, managing a small database. How much can you squeeze into 32MB RAM?
I am a fan of TP-Link, because it is a Chinese company marketing their own Chinese products. Linksys is a American company marketing products made in China - so you pay extra for the marketing and brand name of a American company. Which is fine, if the American company sells smarter designs and better software.
I can't say anything about the quality of the TP-Link firmware, since I only see their web interface for a few seconds when I change the firmware to OpenWrt. The hardware is fine. With this regard TP-Link offers a lot of "bang" for the buck.
