RE: New access point required

If you are sticking with the Linksys firmware, make sure they have the
latest
version as mine were supplied with an early v1.

Current is v2.08, watch upgrading as you have to run through all versions,
you
can't just jump to the latest (I think it's to do with updates to the
firmware
loader itself).

I was leaning towards the Linksys WAP54G as everyone I know has had good
experiences with Linksys kit.  I’ve ordered two access points and a card
for
the laptop.

Only had experience of the Linksys WAP54G and WRT54G, but found them to be
very
good.

Supports WEP and WPA (some still don't support WPA, even in the latest
firmware).

No need to stick to the same manufacturer, unless you use any of the
proprietary
"turbo" modes.

Having lost my temper with a Netgear 802.11G access point which seems to be
absolutely rubbish, I'm in the market for one (or maybe) two new access
points.  I'm using a Belkin 802.11G card in the PC, should I just buy a
Belkin access point for compatibility or something else?  Also looking for
the cheapest price.
