Do you have an 802.11 AccessPoint? Can you share with us what you've found out about it? Start with the specs and more on to your impressions, likes and dislikes.

For more information please see BaWug's [http://www.bawug.org/ap_table.html AP Comparison Chart], Seattle Wireless' wiki: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
