I have a Orinoco AP-500 at my house and swear by it. You can hook up higher gain antennas if need be (mine has a +5 dbi sectoral) and it supports 128 bit WEP (but we're all using tunnels or IPSec anyway for added security, right?).
The Orinoco stuff is fairly easy to admin as well. Just my $.02. Greg -------Original Message------- From: "B.
