I too have a high degree of networking/IT experience, CCNA certified and such. These access points are not junk if you know what you're doing. I have 4 of these configured with a roaming management controller.

Easy to Use setup; upgradeable antennas

No custom Roms, cheap and dumb so you have to tell it what to do; You can't set these up automatically and expect it to magically work 10 times out of 10

I've only had it for about a week but it functions as advertised and provides great signal strength to all points in my 2800 sq ft building. Very satisfied so far.

WAP300N (Linksys Wireless Access Point N300 Dual Band) (Personal Computers) this little guy works as advertized, highly recommended!...every area of my 1600sqft home is at 65+% signal...the furthest areas were at 15% signal previously...the bandwidth is just as fast wirelessly as it is wired..

Set up was much easier than I thought it would be. In fact, given the poor software and complicated setup of my routers over the last decade I was very surprised when I flipped the switch and it just worked. The range I had from my Linksys router doubled with the flip of a witch.

Cisco tech support did not help. I finally got this to work through some trial and error.

Looking like something that dropped off a robot in a science fiction film, the Linksys Wireless-N is guaranteed to provoke a smile when placed in its upright mode, though if you whip off the stand it becomes a completely stable slab of electronics.

This is an excellent product with multiple uses. I was skeptical while ordering this order as primarily i wanted to have a range extender (for outdoor purpose) and was not sure to what distance this will help as no clear specs were available.

Fast Connection

Difficult To Set Up

One of the best access point we have come across with good range. Works as Access point, range extender and media bridge

Ease of setup. Greatly increased signal works great. No more dead spots on other end of house.

Going very well !
