Indeed, I actually met up with a few of the ZyXEL folks @ WiFi Planet a few weeks. I'm planning a review of the B-3000 vs. Cisco 1200 in the coming weeks (still trying to get my hands on a Cisco unit). hehe, indeed.. it also looks they're using a "Waveplus" chip too <http://www.waveplus.com/>. > With multi-ESSID you can configure 8 ESSIDs, and each can be VLAN tagged to > work with a VLAN switch. Each ESSID has independent VLAN tag and WEP keys. Very nice, this will AP will finally make the 'vendor neutral' concept of WiFi networks (Airports, Shopping Malls, etc) more viable. > Of course standard features like MAC filtering, 802.1x/RADIUS, roaming and > removable antennas are also supported.

It's also a bummer the product is only 11b. -- Matt Peterson -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
