Post #201,464 by dws 3/31/05 3:24:01 PM Reply	Old Linksys gear That'd be the WAP11, which is several years old. I cooked one. Folks on my team avoid 'em. If you really want to go with Linksys, spring for the WAP54G. I'm having good luck with the Netgear WGR614, which is a bit less expensive and takes up less desk space (it'll sit upright instead of flat, giving it even better airflow), but YMMV.

You want a 802.11b/g or an 802.11a (or a/g). 802.11a and 802.11g have basically the same throughput (basic set-up is 54 Mbps, some setups are faster by reducing packet headers). The advantage of 802.11a is there are few phones and routers using that frequency (5GHz) so you have less interferance. The disadvantages are shorter range (25-75 feet versus 100-150 feet) and higher cost. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

Post #201,539 by jb4 4/1/05 10:42:33 AM Reply	Understood... Wasn't planning on going with "b-only". The difference in proce between the B and the G is not worth quibbling over...and, besides, if my wife is going to use it (and she is), she will want the extra speed. jb4 shrub\ufffdbish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT
