For more information please see BaWug's [[http://www.bawug.org/ap_table.html|AP Comparison Chart]], Seattle Wireless' SeattleWireless:HardwareComparison page, PracticallyNetworked's [[http://www.practicallynetworked.com/list.asp?p=3|Wireless Networking Product Guide]] and the [[http://80211b.weblogger.com/cheapgateways.html|Cheap Home Gateways]] article. You can find more hardware information on the PcCardReviews and Prism2Card pages. -- AdamShand There's an [[http://www6.tomshardware.com/network/20021203/index.html|Introduction to Wireless Gateways]] with a good review of 11 units on Tom's Hardware Guide. -- RichardSchwartfeger How about adding a column for power output, or are they all the same? --Pat Callahan That's probably a good idea, but it depends mostly on the card. Go ahead and add it, or I'll get to it eventually. -- AdamShand ||||||||||||'''802.11b Access Points'''|| ||'''Make'''||'''Model'''||'''Features'''||'''Output Power'''||'''Connector'''||'''Comments'''|| ||[[http://www.apple.com/|Apple]]||[[http://www.apple.com/airport|Airport]]||1W,1E,Br,Nat,Mo||30mW||Hackable||AirportComments|| ||[[http://www.apple.com/|Apple]]||[[http://www.apple.com/airport|Airport]]||1W,2E,Br,Nat,Mo||30mW||Hackable||Airport2 Comments|| ||[[http://www.cisco.com/|Cisco]]||[[http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet|Aironet 340 AP]]||1W,1E,40,128,Ap,Cl||30mW||Yes||Aironet340 Comments|| ||[[http://www.cisco.com/|Cisco]]||[[http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet|Aironet 350 AP]]||1W,1E,128,Ap,Cl,Up||30mW,100mW||Yes||Aironet350 Comments|| ||[[http://www.dlink.com/|D-Link]]||[[http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di713p/index.htm|DI-713P]]||1w,3E,128,Nat,Ap,<
