RE: New WiFi AP recommendation

[David Balharrie <davidj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,
I had a failing AP as well recently and wanted something reliable. Having
had Draytek routers for years I was pleased to find that they now do WAPs. 
I bought a AP-800 which I found very easy to setup, has a nice feature set
and PoE out of the box. A bit more money than some WAP units but I would
recommend one.

Subject: [ukha_d] New WiFi AP recommendation



Looks like my Netgear AP is giving up the ghost.... frequent outages &
dropouts now... so I need to replace it... - looking for recommendations
for
a standalone WiFi AP - ideally something more reliable - "enterprise
grade"

Note I don't want to use the embedded WiFi on my router, since part of my
wireless security (and power saving) strategy is to remotely turn the AP
off
when the house is unoccupied (currently by X10 from Comfort), so it has to
be standalone.. - obviously this also gives better flexibility with
positioning...

I've always been impressed with the Draytek range of cable routers, and I
see they do a standalone AP... - anyone ever seen/used one (AP700 I think
it's called), - got any opinions?

Alternatively, anyone got any suggestions for a really reliable AP? - how
are Cisco these days?

Cheers.

Paul G.
