Title: Not all its cracked up to be.
Product review: Ultimately, I ended up throwing this WAP away after it stopped functioning. You are far better off spending the extra money for an 802.11g WAP (54 Mbps versus 11 Mbps).Unlike other WAPs, this device can connect to another WAP and act as a bridge. If you have two Ethernet networks and want to connect them, it is relatively painless with this device. That was my original rationalization for buying this product. Turns out I never really needed the extra functionality.I was never impressed with the 10 Mbps speed. The first time around setup was painless. However, reinstalling the software under XP became problematic. The USB driver/software from Linksys caused my Windows XP machine to blue-screen and crash. It caused my Windows ME system to hang periodically.I would recommend you pass on this product and get an 802.11g WAP. They are faster (54/100+Mbps) AND backwards compatible with your existing 802.11b network cards.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
