Most helpful customer reviews 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Solid WAP, but Really for Techies Only By W. Hazard This review is primarily for home owners who are considering this device. The Cisco Aironet 113x WAPs are solid, professional devices. The 113x's are very configurable, and provide an exceptional feature set, reliability and distance -- even in congested areas. BUT: they require a very tech savvy consumer to configure them properly. Tech Notes: - This devices does not include a DHCP server -- the default config uses the DHCP server on your wired LAN -- there is NO default IP address. - If default configuration does not work, you will need to use the console interface -- you'll need a serial connection and understanding of telnet. - Securing the device requires an understanding of the difference between WEP and WPA and use of hex keys (no ASCII) If any of the above is confusing or scary, you might consider one of the Linksys WAPs (Linksys was recently purchased by Cisco). They tend to be more sensitive to traffic congestion and have lower range, but they are much easier to configure. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Previous Reviewer is Incorrect or Unexperienced with Cisco By Greg M. Trzaska The previous reviewer is incorrect with saying the 1131AG can not support even open wep. The Cisco Aironets are some of the MOST configurable AP's out there! They are NOT easy to set up, and without using CLI, they are even more difficult. Cisco's Aironets are great, reliable, and work extremely well. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for Business and Tech-Savvy Home Users By Aaron Hall If you're buying this for use at home and you're not a tech-savvy Cisco/Network geek, save your money and stick with Linksys access points... or at least be prepared to have a network geek swing by to configure it. That said, if you're tech-savvy or using this in a business environment with a good IT person on hand, these AP's are absolutely perfect in terms of functionality and form-factor. Configuring them is a bit intimidating at first, because there are TONS of options and features in the web interface menus, and you do have to do some hunting, because it's not all organized very well. However, rest assured that everything you'll ever want to do with these AP's (including private/guest VLAN options) can most certainly be done. As for the open WEP claim in the one review, I'll add my assurance that the claim is false. It does support WEP, but WEP is such a horrible encryption standard, and you should really be using WPA or WPA2. See all 5 customer reviews...
