[TriLUG] Linksys Wireless Access Points

[Greg Brown]

Well, a few of us have been down this road a time or two before and I 
still stay I stand behind my Orinoco AP-500.  I have never, not once, 
had a problem with these boxes and a couple have been running for well 
over two years without fail in fairly harsh environments.  The AP-500 
has been replaced by the AP-600 but you can still find the AP-500s on 
ebay from time to time.  I hear the AP-600s are just are reliable as 
the old 500 units.
