Title: Linksys WAP11 Instant Wireless Network Access Point
Product review: Unlike my Linksys BEFSR41 Etherfast Cable/DSL Router, the WAP11 was difficult to set up [....] I could never get 128-bit encryption to work (also bought the WPC11 PC Card). My biggest complaint is that the maximum signal range that I got from the Linksys Wireless "solution" was about 30 feet through a single gypsum wallboard wall; nowhere close to the advertised distance of 164 feet at 11 Mbps indoors. I spent far too many hours moving the WAP around the house and switching channels attempting to achieve a more acceptable range. I wound up hard-wiring the rooms that I wanted access to and will probably wait for wireless network technology to mature a bit before attempting to have full mobility. [....]
