With the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point, users can access network resources, the Internet, and e-mail at speeds up to 54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). That's almost five times the speed of existing 802.11b wireless products, which makes this product ideal for small offices that run demanding audio, video and multimedia applications. Because the 802.11g standard uses the 2.4GHz radio spectrum, the 11g access point is backward compatible with 802.11b wireless products. This flexibility preserves your network investment and allows you to upgrade or scale your network according to your budget and time frame. The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point supports 802.11g and 802.11b notebooks, PCs, and other wireless client devices.??Like all award-winning OfficeConnect products, the access point is affordable and easy to install. It delivers performance and reliability features that automatically select the best channel and connection speed, so con... Less

Pros Easy setup. Low profile, stylish case. Front LEDS on case.
Cons None. This is a nice device.
Recommended it? Yes

Ordered an OEM packaged unit. The plain box included the WAP, the power supply, and a piece of CAT-5 cable only. It did not include anything else.

The OEM unit came without rubber "feet", had to buy my own ($1) and put on the box. I also had to download the user manual, software setup... Read full review »

Apple Has Outdone Itself With The new Airport Express

byjlc2005 May 20, 2008
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A totally well thought out multi-purpose, super-fast router. Bargain price.
Cons Only one Ethernet port.
Recommended it? Yes

The new Airport Express with 802.11n (draft 2 spec) capability is the second generation of this product. Apple kept everything that was great about the original Express and then gave it some serious attitude and speed while simplifying what was already a very simple, easy to use interface.

The 3rd wireless router I've bought, 1st I've kept

byjstrnad May 7, 2009
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, speed, once connected
Cons May not be as effortless to connect as advertised, even with a Mac.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the AirPort Express for my Mac Mini after having failed to set up two other name-brand routers in the past. In those two cases, I was able to connect the Mac Mini but not my (old) Windows XP machine even after hours of struggle and phone calls to tech support. I took both of those routers...
