-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Evan;
We used this at our office. http://www.dlink.com/category/productcategories/?cid=127 For the money (less than Cisco) it worked reasonably well but it does need to have a network router/dhcp system handling the networking. It's not a router, it's a switch with wireless 'pods' that you hang in logical places. We did hit issues when we got to a couple hundred wireless devices with multiple VPNs running through it, but by this time it had been taken over by another group and I suspect the issues were more related to limitations on the PIX we had running behind it, or misconfiguration thereof. At home I currently have 2 generic wireless 'n' routers linked with WDS. They both use the same channel and SSID. I have linux laptops, an iPad and several androids that all move seamlessly to whichever AP has the strongest signal. It works great with 2 nodes, not sure how well it scales. You don't really need to spend a lot depending on the details of your use case, but you do get what you pay for. Make sure you leave room to scale.
