Hello All and Daniel,
Good point... the cheaper SEC-4500 ($80) is only needed
especially if one is using it for standalone repeating since the only
user is the other AP. One can also use an AP w/the KarlNet as a
wireless receiver (I think they refer to this as a Mobile Ethernet
Converter), and connect via a cross-over cable to the AP to access
the network connection. I've tested this.
As per using PRISM cards, not sure how useful since the
KarlNet software is on the DHCP client side of things, and not
broadcasting... good to know though that the KarlNet software works
on a wide variety of hardware.
