Commercial Wireless Access Points

[Billy SG McCarthy]

The fact that the AP can't filter ports, is very
shady.  Even the home APs that I've seen will let you
limit access to only specific MAC addresses.  You
might be better off with a few APs set up to cover the
area, than just 1 really powerful one, or possibly
multiple antennae.
