We are in the 2-4K volume range which is too low for them to apparently care about. If they'd just put the chips into a distributor and give us an accurate manual we'd probably never call the chip manufacturer. What is pricing like for the SOC chips? Would it be less that our $8.00 combo of lpc3130/USB wifi? USB wifi is flexible in that we can put in 11g, 11b, 5Ghz, etc sticks. lpc3130 is a very good chip for this since it has the integrated 480Mb USB PHY. > You might try asking vendors for a tray of samples for testing purposes, > e.g. a dozen chips. > > > On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 7:16 PM, jonsm...@gmail.com <jonsm...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Are any of the router SOC CPUs easily available for purchase?
