One of the most stable Access Points Oct 08, 2008
I'm not sure why other people are having problems with this access point. With the the latest firmware (as of 06/2008) the access points are stable and run for many months without crashing. I've configured 7 of these to cover a 100,000 square foot warehouse with the AP's suspended from the ceiling. No power had to be run to each access Point because they are all power over ethernet - we simply had to get a power over ethernet switch and run a standard ethernet drop to each access point.
I've gone back to the warehouse two months later and all access points had an uptime of 61 days - not a single one had crashed. I decided to reboot each of them, just in case, but they were all up and running, responding, and supplying a wireless signal, after 2 months. I was actually a little shocked, I figured at least one would have crashed. The nice thing is since they are power over ethernet I just had to unplug each one by one from our power over ethernet switch - no running around anywhere. I figured 2 months of being stbale in a hot warehouse over the summer for all 7 access points is an excellent test of stability.
The best thing is that all the AP's share the same SSID and password and I can roam from one end of the warehouse to the other while downloading a file and without dropping a single ping. I did have to plan the wireless channel configuration ahead of time and I tried to minimize the interference with each other. Remember there are really only 3 distinct channels, 1, 6, and 11, so try to space your access points apart so that you get the least amount of conflict. There is a serious problem with the 802.11G specification where each channel overlaps with channels +-3 channels from it - so an access point on channel 3 conflicts with both channel 1 and channel 6. Short story - use only 1, 6 and 11 for your wireless channels.
In any case, with proper configuration and the latest firmware, everything runs stable and has tremendous range. I'm getting a good signal with every access point spaced 200 ft apart. Each access point is able to supply a medium but stable signal at a 120ft radius so placing the AP's 200 ft allows for a little bit of overlap to ensure good coverage everywhere. This was tested with all the racks in place in the warehouse, metal racks with wooden shelves.
In short, a tremendous access point for the price, great for businesses that require long term stability.

 Blows BIG TIME Jun 16, 2008
This thing blows big-time. I manage, design, and install networks for a living. I installed this in my house to compliment my new Dell laptop with wireless-N and I can say that my dvd rewinder was a better investment. PoE is pretty cool, which is why I bought it, but it's the only feature that works reliably. Drops connections pretty frequently only to reconnect a few minutes later. Range is good, but even at 10 feet, I reliably get 5% of my internet connection bandwidth. If you're really good at setting these things up (which, again, I do for a living), the setup is pretty easy. Using it, however, isn't such a pleasure.
Absolutely horrified--I got better performance from 10 year old 802.11FH, which you can pick up for about $10 on ebay.
Sucks balls... big time.

Absolutely Awesome!! As Good As Hoped! May 11, 2008
I bought this about 4 weeks ago and haven't had a problem yet. I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about, except sound like they don't understand the difference between an Access Point and a Router. I am using this with a 8-Port Desktop Switch & a Wireless Router. I bought this on my previous experience with Linksys, the strength of reviews from PC World & others, and a couple of friends that work with Wireless Networks on a daily basis.

 Scary Apr 22, 2008
Installation, setup, operational were all exceptional. For 15 days. Then the transmitter quit and my customer service nightmare began. They teased me with a free 800 number that was disconnected. I tried the free chat, and was told that they didn't support this product thru the chat. So, I tried the 900 number referred in the 800 number for $9 a pop. After accepting the charge, the number went to directory assistance. I resigned myself to return the product (again, a 900 toll number) and was finally directed to customer service, after bouncing around a few people I was told to download the new firmware. I downloaded same, and the WAP started working! I submit that Linksys would do their customers a service if they were honest about downloading the latest firmware, and not so inclined to milk them for $.
