Get the Linksys WRT54G and flash it with DD-WRT - boost the transmit
power and you will get better coverage. I have installed DD-WRT
v23sp2 and it is stable.

it will be used inside our stores for hand held pda connectivity
for inventory purposes. would it be safe to assume that transmit
power for the linksys should be sufficient since i can buy up to 7
units vs 1 cisco unit? my main concern is reliability and
durability. if the linksys units break down more often, then its
probably not worth the savings. the model we currently purchase is
the aironet 1100.

Quoting Carlos Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Does anyone have first hand experience on the differences between
a Cisco Wireless vs. a regular Linksys. Pricing on the Cisco
Aironet 11 MBPS access point with high-gain antenae is about
seven times more. BTW, we aren;t doing anything special with the
equipment...just wireless access. Thanks.
CISCO's Aironet has better reception and often-times more transmit
power although it's not for last-mile connectivity, some standard
enterprise features like EAP, RADIUS, etc, as well as support for
some extended functionality when combined with their software.
Otherwise, it's pretty standard.
Some would say that the Linksys WRT has flakey connectivity,
although YMMV.
Is it for indoor or outdoor use? What Aironet AP model are you
evaluating?
