Linksys or Proxim?

What is a better choice for an access point the Proxim AP-600 or the Linksys
WRT54G (which I know is a router as well). PC magazine seems to think the
Linksys is the best Access point according to their recent review.

Hi,

Most reviews are not worth energy they use illuminating your monitor pixels


best thing is to find the chipset used as they all use reference designs
from the respective taiwanese manufacturers (gemtek, globalsuntec etc..).
have a nose on www.google.com

I have done quite a bit of research into chipsets and the current
performance winner is the latest Atheros one, however not many products
currently use it. It also supports 802.1x and WPA etc..

Netgear have a dual band box which uses it at least , we have a
manufacturer who is currently making us a custom 802.11g ethernet bridge
based on the Atheros device . Its performance advantage outweighs the
availabiltiy of other chipsets such as broadcom and intersil (who have now
ditched their wlan chipsets to another company anyway).

Part of the custom bit is the incorporation of our design of a super low
noise LNA and RF switch to gain typically 8-10dB improvement in actual
receive performance over the standard 802.11 spec.

www.Smallnetbuilder.com is one of the better places to find reviews btw.
