    Linksys WAP11

    Enlarge

    The term venerable can now be applied to the Linksys WAP11, since this is the third iteration of this popular 802.11b access point. It should appeal to wireless LAN novices who need only an access point to connect to a router. Installation is easy, and its straightforward, browser-based management interface is simple to navigate.

    For what I wanted, the Linksys WAP11 seems to be the perfect solution. I had tried 3 other wireless systems with little success (no or erratic connection) outside the bedroom where my WAP was located. The Linksys works fine all through the house. My main concern is eliminating the opportunity for others outside my house using my WAP. This is most likely something I will have to learn to work around but I have heard there are methods built into the WAP for this purpose.

    This device was perfect for what I need. Personally wireless is the least of my needs. I installed it specifically for a print server so that I can move it around. I have a D-link print server on the same channel. They are working fine. I am pleased with the straight-forward menu . It would have been nice to see the unit feature WPA.

    Since they moved their technical support off shore, it leaves a lot to be desired. I have received incorrect infomation from them, and then wrote snail mail letter to their corporate office without response.
