hello all, My workplace recently bought Three new Toshiba Laptops(Satellite 5205-S119 with Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11b) and wanna share Internet/LAN with them. The whole Office network runs on a D-Link 24 port switch(wired).. so I'm looking for a good name/repu Access Point.. anybody using one? got some reviews..?

Features i'm looking for:

Good/easy connectivity.
Good firewall(signal encryption)
Good range
Good Warranty, etc.


TIA! :)

Mines built in to a firewall router.

Apart from recommending 802.11G or better, theres not much to say. Some models will allow up to 108MBs in a special hybrid mode, as long as the WAP and the Wireless NICs are the same brand. I always recommend Netgear these days.

The laptops can only handle 802.11B, how about the Linksys WAP11 (http://www.linksys.com/Products/product.asp?prid=157&scid=7)?
