[TriLUG] Xmas wireless question

I have to say that in my limited experience, Linksys network products 
have been great and DLink has been sub-par.

The Linksys etherfast router that I bought after we got our cable 
internet at home has worked great, and the web interface is really 
slick and easy to use. The WAP54G I recently got it just as easy to use 
and set up, and works really great.

I got a DLink at Best Buy because it was $20 after rebate, but it just 
simply wouldn't work. The configuration was a major PITA, and I never 
did get the wireless to work at all, so I returned it and got my WAP54G 
from CDW.
