Yea, me personally I'd also wait for the 802.11g since the products are right around the corner plus the faster bandwith. I like the Orinoco wireless cards though and they are not as expensive as they used to be but now with the g products its a tough choice to wait or to just go with the 802.11b. >.<

I just got this AP: http://www.dlink.com/products/digitalHome/wireless/11b+/di614+/ Im pretty happy with it so far, the only thing is that the pigtails for it seem a little hard to come by :-\ Id probably hold off until the g stuff comes out if you need extra bandwidth for some folks. Im suprised the DLink guy didnt mention it since its tagged @ 149, I just cant find a place whos selling it. - Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Serebin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 6:32 PM Subject: Re: [nycwireless] AP suggestions? > Hello Terry and all, > > Notice Tyler is a Linksys rep... nice of him to point that out.
