Any suggestion of Access Point

[mshields at namemedia.com (Matt Shields)]

Haven't tried the wireless N yet.  The problem I've had with all the
consumer brands, is they claim to support up to 254 hosts, but I've
noticed as soon as I get 10-15 people on them they start to choke.  For
my company (around 80 people) who go from wired to wireless when they
roam, I want it to be as reliable as possible.  For me, it made sense to
buy a higher end product like the Cisco AP's.  For a smaller office, it
may not be that important to you if you drop signal every once and a
while.

David and Matt,

I like Linksys and Netgear, but I feel that Belkins are pieces of cr*p.
Too many of them have failed on me.

Have you consider moving the current AP to a different location.
Sometimes it helps to be in a open area.  In addition, if you were to
purchase a new one, would you consider wireless N.  New and fast.



Sonny
