I have had very good luck with Proxim APs. They are easy to configure and have been rock solid in several small deployments. You can usually find them on eBay for around $125+-. Whether or not used gear is appropriate for your application is another question, but I have them installed at home and a non-profit I help out. No problems whatsoever for almost 4 years in one case.
I just bought a handful of AP-4000s from Business Systems Connection, which seems to be a very reputable vendor. http://stores.ebay.com/Business-Systems-Connection On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 4:43 PM, Ben Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 4:16 PM, Stefan Jafs <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I have been using Linksys in the past. > > If you're buying cheap SOHO gear, I'm in the process of testing a > Buffalo WHR-HP-GN which looks nice so far.
