It also depends on many factors. Are your wireless users in the
building and are they currently connected to a 1Mbps office net, or are
they communicating with the Internet? Additionally, do they have the
capability of using in-house wired access, again 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or
10Gbps?=20

Additionally, what are you using as a firewall. The Linksys boxes are
designed for home or small office use.=20
