Linksys WAP55AG 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point

Pros: Fast and easy install, software does not need to be installed
Cons: none (wow... for the first time!)

I had the pleasure to add another wireless access point at one of our sites that already have 3 access point not too long ago, and was pleasantly surprised at how easy the setup was. There is no software to install, and no need to physically connect the ...

Pros: easy to setup, works great when it does work
Cons: locks up VERY frequently, no firmware updates in three years

Polly, put the Linksys on Polly, put the Linksys on Polly, put the Linksys on We'll have Wireless-G. Suki, check the access point Suki, check the access point Suki, check the access point We all have none. Polly, pull the plug again ...

Pros: Works well, when it is working.
Cons: Requires a daily power cycle to restart wireless communication.

The unit I have now is a warranty replacement. The original would stop wireless communication within a day of disconnecting/reconnecting power (power cycling). There was a firmware update available, installed that and reduced the original to a state where all it could do was light its fault LED. After an hour with technical support an RMA was issued to get a replacement. The replacement arrived on time and had the latest firmware already installed. The replacement has the same problem that the original had, sometime within a day of power cycling the wireless communications goes down.
The FAQs on the Linksys website suggest power cycling when wireless activity stops, apparently it is a problem they know about but cannot or will not fix.

Pros: Excellent customer service and a great product
Cons: None!

The Linksys WAP55AG tri-mode access point is an excellent unit! Setup was a breeze! It was also very easy to configure all the security access settings. I found it to be pretty much plug-n-play. Configuration only took about 10 – 15 minutes. I have been using it with the Linksys WPC55AG notebook adapter and have had excellent connectivity.
I dealt with the Linksys tech support when trying to configure multiple routers for a small business setup and they went above and beyond the call to solve my problem. I would recommend any products made by Linksys and their parent company Cisco.
