Pros: Easy config, Very good signal strength, Replaceable antennas, cheap.
Cons: It isn't free.
The Bottom Line: It's cheap, it's effective, and can be used in conjunction with a WET11 to make a cheap agnostic repeater. I have no reservations about this unit. Buy it.

Pros: Inexpensive, high quality access point with easy to use administration
Cons: Nearly impossible to find external antennas to boost range
The Bottom Line: The WAP-11 is a great way to extend your network beyond the limits of wires, but activate the WEP security feature so no one else has access to your network.
