btw the reason I picked that one over other competing or cheaper models is that 
the Ethernet port on it is GigE. Many of these N-band APs have 100meg ports and 
I wanted to make sure that I could push >100mbps over the air down to the 
switch it's plugged into.

I picked one of these up - http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DAP-2553. Seems 
featureful, works well (so far), and was reasonably easy to configure. Make 
sure you flash the firmware as there's a bunch of new functionality.

Thanks,

Sounds overkill. I just bought a D-Link WAP for my house a couple weeks ago 
that's out of their SMB type line and it even has a little basic wireless 
controller function built into it. Got it for perhaps 120 bucks on Amazon.

I'm new to enterprise wireless. I'm setting up 2 APs to share out a fios 
connection for our conference rooms.
100% seperate from our corporate network.
Our IT consultants is trying to sell a cisco wireless controller to manage the 
APs.

Does this sound like overkill to anyone?
Do you really need a wireless controller to manage 2 APs?
