I have tried a couple different wireless hubs / access points.
I had very bad luck with Linksys. Tried an access point as well as an
integrated hub, router, access point. The straight access point never
worked at all. The hub worked poorly and finally quit working at all.
Recently I decided to try another brand. I got a Blitzz B,G, super G. It
works great. Instead of carefully positioning htings so that it will bearly
work I can use my laptop and work anywhere in the area. Instead of having
marginal signal strength sitting in the next room I can sit out onthe back
patio with excellent signal strength and connect up to the network in the
house at 108mbps. WOW! This is cool.
I had considered getting an Engenius long range access point and cards, but
this Blitzz stuff really does the job.
I do have to complain though. I picked up one Blitzz access point and it
worked great, but the router couldn't see my cable modem. I know there was
nothing wrong with my cbale modem since I had a Belkin router working on it
just fine. The wireless part worked fine, but the router would not see the
modem. The hardwired HUB functions worked ok too, but without an uplink
port on ether router I couldn't just use it as an access point. I took the
1st Blitzz back and got a replacement and everything worked fine. The tape
patch on the box on the first one was slit, but the box was fuly shrink
wrapped. All I can figure is that the store re-shrink wrapped a return and
put it back on the shelf. I put notes in the box with the software cd and
with the manual letting any future victim know it was a used and defective
component.
