I made the mistake and sold my old Linksys wired router (BEFSR41) and bought the latest wireless router (BEFW11S4) I was having all sorts of problems. I called Linksys and they said that they were aware of the problems and were working on fixes...alot of good that does me. So I went out and bought my old wired router back ... and also bought the wireless AP (WAP11)....  I just pluged the AP into my router port, setup my card (set wireless network card,network type to infurstructure) and now I could sit by the pool while on line. How cool is that!! It took 15 minutes to do this. Its been a week no problems and I'm thrilled with this setup. By installing the WAP11 as a add on to my router, I can locate the WAP11 any where I wish for the best distance! Distance? My WAP11 is in the basement on top of my house airducts. I can walk outside 70ft from the WAP11 and still be connected.  Don't just take my word on it. Go ahead and read the other Amazon reviews on the BEFW11S4.(mostly negitive) Then read the reviews on the WAP11(mostly positive)  Other customers have done the same!! For the novice home networking buff, there are a few tricks to learn on setting up the Linksys wireless card with this WAP11. But read the reviews carefully you can learn from other peoples mistakes. Just like mine!
