[TriLUG] WiFi AP recommendations

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

I'm going to give the 6 Lite and the 802.3af POE injector a try, give the 
recommendation.  Total cost from the UI store is 107, before S&H, tax, 
whatever.

At the same time, Microsoft has determined that they're too old to be trusted, and keeps dropping the WiFi connection to them, about every 15 minutes or so. I only have one active, but it does it with both, so it isn't the AP's.
