The WAP2000 is a Wireless Access Point ideal for small businesses that want to expand their existing wired networks or create new wireless networks for the workforce or guests. It features RangeBooster technology that is compatible to standard 802.11g but with a range up to two times farther and throughput by up to 35 faster. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are hampered by wireless signals that reflect off walls, ceilings, and other objects, RangeBooster uses these multiple signals with two smart receivers at each end (router or access point and client adapter) to boost range and throughput speeds. As a result, a RangeBooster solution reduces or eliminates wireless signal deadspots in offices and other buildings so users can connect to the network in more areas. The WAP2000 comes with 3 dBi antennas for increased power, also helping to extend the range of the Access Point.

Pleasantly surprised . I bought this product to provide secure wireless services to our company network. I was pleasantly surprised that it has support for multiple SSIDs with tagged VLAN support (useful for creating a "guest" network for visitors, as well as a separate secure internal network). It supports WPA2-Enterprise, which I'm using together with Windows Server 2003 IAS to allow domain users to be authenticated to the network using their windows login automatically. I was fully expecting problems deploying this somewhat bleading-edge feature, but so far it's worked perfectly (aside from the hassles associated with Microsoft's poor group policy support for WPA2 in XP Pro). The unit has never requiring a restart since I installed it. The physical hardware seems well made also. I'm not using the POE support, because the range on this AP is good enough to allow it to sit in our phone room and cover the entire floor. Overall, this product feels like it's benefited from the Cisco influence, unlike some of Linksys' other recent efforts.

Cisco WAP2000 Wireless-G Access Point - POE Reviews
Linksys 2 Satisfaction . I had a home office and a Linksys WRT54g router. I wanted to secure my network more and have more LAN ports, but still have wifi. So I bought this AP, a Linksys VPN firewall Router, and an 8-port switch. Had the AP, the switch, my printer, and NAS plugged into the VPN Router, and my computers to the Switch. Worked flawlessy. This baby has serious range. I would go get the mail (our driveway is about 1/4 mile, and my iPhone would still be connected to the wifi this thing puts out. Also it is so much more secure than a regular 4 port wireless router. You can assigned the IP for it, which will be the gateway for the devices connected. Secure, safe, and awesome. Not for the technically challenged. But easy to you if you should be using it.

Not the best you could get . Its not the best you can buy for this price, but still a very decently priced AP. The configuration is pretty straight forward and its well documented as well.

Cons Review
Not so simple to set up . I chose this Access Point instead of replacing my non-wireless router so that I could install wireless without messing around with my existing router settings. Big mistake. Yes, I received a wireless signal instantly, but gaining access to the administrative interface proved much more difficult because the IPs do not set automatically. The instructions are, of course, worse than useless. There are pictures and detailed explanations on how to insert the power adapter into the back of the machine or attach the machine to a wall (duh!) but absolutely nothing on the really critical issue of troubleshooting interface problems. Nada. The web, of course, has some useful information that can help but it wasn't enough to solve the problem. I spoke to an IT professional who has a good understanding of IPs and we worked through the problem only to discover that there was an additional conflict with my Gateway PC that also needed to be addressed. At this point I took the pragmatic approach and returned the Access Point to Amazon. I switched from cable to FIOS, with a free wireless/ LAN router. That has worked fine.
