Through Integrity Electronics USA, this new WAP Cisco / Linksys is smaller and easier to install than previous models, and is a good price for a dual-band B / G / N WAP. The series seems pretty good too, but we have found that can make a huge difference in tone, depending on the quality of the internal wireless antennas in some laptops and netbooks. For example, the home of one of our customers: Her new PC notebook and laptop had "good" reception (3 of 5 bars), while my Apple MacBookPro had "excellent" reception from the same place. WAP was a lot of broadcast signal. Her two computers simply could not receive signals, due to poor internal wireless antennas. So if you buy this product, and the field looks weak, not the WAP. Also make sure you choose "Wireless-N Only" mode, if all your computers newer 802.11n cards. This will speed up your connection if you do not have N cards, and then leave the scene in "mixed" mode, otherwise your card B and G do not get any signal. Hope this helps.

Do not buy this item (WAP610N) By Charles Orton I bought a pair of these access points to customers based on WAP610N Linksys / Cisco's reputation. I made the mistake of not checking the Linksys support forums first. Big mistake. This product with the current firmware (from 12/01/2011) simply do not work as advertised. There are many documented problems with connections, starting under load, inability to pass packets correctly DHCP and static IP address 10.xxx range that allows me to give a positive recommendation for this product. Cisco and Linksys should be ashamed for releasing a defective product. Call them on the phone is a complete waste of time and posting in their online support forum (along with the other unfortunate WAP610N owner) is also meaningless, because Cisco / Linksys does not recognize the problems (but they are quick to edit their posts, if you see something that they did not like) why I say no other option than to return WAP610N units for refunds and make others aware of the potential problems with this device. The latest firmware for this device was about 9 months in March 2010 published. Linksys - I have learned my lesson. No more Linksys or Cisco equipment for my business or my customers. Thank you. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Large Dual Band WAP. (It is not a simultaneous dual-band WAP itself) By cpyao I have configured this as a 2.4-GHz Wireless-G Access Point with me. It works great, I have no problems with it. The only disadvantage of this WAP610N (and their WET610N) is that it's time for you to reboot after making changes to the settings and save them, but not that big of an issue very much, I thought it was a simultaneous dual band ( 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz) as the WRT610N, but it is not. It is one or, I suppose I should read the specifications a bit 'better, but I still would have bought anyway. I think they did that for some reason since I just bought a second today, so I can run it as an access point 5 GHz Wireless-N. I only use it for a week but I had no problem with it at all, is a great WAP. See all 39 customer reviews ....
