Hello everyone.
I've partially answered my own question (in terms of an AP) and am looking
at two models:
1) Proxim ORiNOCO AP-600b/g Access Point ($349 at CDW) and
2) U.S. Robotics 100Mbps 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-Function Access Point
($210 at CDW)
My next question is: Are these overkill, or would a less expensive access
point from Netgear or Linksys be a better bargain?. My primary goal is to
provide local and internet for the 4-6 Laptop users in the office (we use
Small Business Server 2003 with ISA connected to a Cayman DSL router for
internet), and to NOT provide internet access to everyone in the office
complex. Obviously security is also an issue issue, though we don't have a
lot of confidential data, I want it as secure as possible. At this point I
am assuming a small organization like ours can easily use WPA and pre-shared
keys and I don't need to consider anything like implementing a radius
server - opinions on this welcome (actually both the units above appear to
support radius, so if I used one of these, I still hav the option for Radius
if it is needed).
Any opinions, recommendations and arguments on any of the above welcome.
Aaron
