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.

Brian - which D-Link model? I'm in the market for a new AP. On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Brian Desmond <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
