I much prefer Cisco AP's. Real nice feature with Cisco AP's is you can
purchase a Cisco Aironet Card with AP then enable Aironet Extensions on the
AP to really lay out your Wireless Network. If you need a second AP at some
point you can just add one. What you really need to be aware of is that if
you have more than one AP is the hopping capabilities. The success of
hopping (meaing not dropping signal) from one AP to another relies on the AP
and Network card working in sync. This is why I prefer Cisco. Not say
other vendors AP's will not successfully do this but you need to ask. As
for coverage, you really need to talk to the vendor to insure the Antennas
will be capable of handling the signal at your designed distances.

Hi again,
I would like to know what model is consider as an overkill in terms of
installing AP in the office. I got couple of inputs and so I am being
thrown left right and centre on which one to try. I am only asking to get
feedbacks because the vendor will not take back the access point once the
box is open.
I got to install the AP in a new office with about 4 glasses offices.
Everything is pretty much open space. There will be about 13 - 15 people
the most in the office. The office is about 2008 square feet.
Which AP would you recommend?
