Summary: no confusion
Review: this product is great. i can connect all over my house and sometimes i get the option to connect onto one of my neighbors. when i wasn't paying atteniton my computer automatically connected me to my neighbors and i got bad service, but otherwise my mac and all the other types of computers in my house connect great.

just make sure you do not buy the wireless "B" one. my brother originally bought the wireless "B" and i had problems. my boyfriend had it and i couldn't connect in his room very well.

my friend put security on her G so that people can't use hers in her apartment, so i think all of the bases are covered. oh yeah just remember the password. she had the hardest time remembering her password and that was a pain in the @$$.

Summary: easy setup, good performance
Review: Setup was easy. I did not install the included setup software, but rather accessed the WAP54G console via the http address using IE6.

The console was easy to understand. All security features are set to "off" out of the box. You must manaully go in and change setting to provide any level of security.

They provide excellent directions on how to tighten up security

I am connecting this to my Linksys 4 port dsl/cable router.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product.

Summary: Do not buy this product
Review: Performance is spotty. Sometimes the broadcast is ok. Other times it fades in and out making work with it impossible. Sometimes unplugging and re-plugging will solve the problem, other times it won't.
Stay away from it.
