Easy Wireless Networking with the Linksys Wireless Access Point WAP 11

bync10 Jul 17, 2002
42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy setup, and configuration, 24/7 toll free tech support
Cons The latest WAP11 version needs new firmware to be compatible with all network cards
Recommended it? Yes

The Linksys Wireless Access Point WAP 11 can provide a "access point" for one or several wireless devices to connect to an existing ethernet network (a wireless "hub"), or two WAP 11's can serve as a wireless "bridge" between two networks. The WAP 11 is a IEEE 802.11b device operating in the 2.4GHZ... Read full review »

Pros Easy config, Very good signal strength, Replaceable antennas, cheap.
Cons It isn't free.
Recommended it? Yes

OK, so I have one of those new handy dandy Compaq X1000 notebooks. It has a 1.3ghz Centrino CPU and built-in wifi. I've always had wifi (802.11b) wireless access to the internet in my home, and it's always worked well.

At work, the compliance folks are getting very scrutinizing about the... Read full review »

Don't waste your time.

Pros cheap, works with some cards
Cons horrid tech support, doesn't work with all cards, better by technically savvy!
Recommended it? No

The WAP11 v2.2 is a fine wireless access point - if you happen to have the hardware that it likes to work with.

My first attempt was with an Orinoco Silver card, a card I knew worked with airports and netgear access points. Under XP, the card recognized the WAP11; the WAP11 saw the card;... Read full review »

I was so excited when my company purchased a brand new Thinkpad T40 for me (see my review here at epinions!). It had everything, a Pentium M processor, a ton of RAM, and integrated wireless! I was especially thrilled about the integrated wireless because I was tired of having to plug a PCMCIA... Read full review »

Do you need Wireless access?

I already had a hard-wired, CAT5e LAN running in my house before I got my WAP11. The main reason I purchased a WAP11 was because two household members bought laptops and they wanted to be able to access the internet by the pool, in the kitchen, outside, etc. I... Read full review »

Cons Understand the some have problems with support.
Recommended it? Yes

What about the LinkSys WAP11? It's like asking me about Ford or Chevy. I have had nothing but good luck with the LinkSys product line for several years now. Again, with the WAP11, I am completely impressed with its functionality and ease of installation.

Installation/Configuration:

I have done a review on linksys router few months ago. This month, it is about the wireless.

Years back when I worked for a company that the printer wire cannot go across the door. I asked one customer representative, anything like wireless printer. I was told not yet.

I never... Read full review »

Pros Used to have great product and great support.
Cons No longer have great product and now don't have any support.
Recommended it? No

I've been a LinkSys customer for years and have sold and installed probably tens of thousands of dollars of their equipment. I have always counted on LinkSys for good product and most importantly, good support, which has been going downhill recently. My customer needed to link their networks... Read full review »

Pros Easy Setup/Admin Firmware updates
Cons Poor Distance
Recommended it? Yes

I decided to buy the Linksys Wireless Access Point WAP11 because I thought it would make a great addition to my Linksys BEFSR41 home edition router. I went down to my local computer store and picked it right up. I plugged it and in two minutes I had a unsecured connection to the internet. However... Read full review »

Wireless Networking at its best

byJ_L_Haupt Dec 7, 2002

Pros Inexpensive, high quality access point with easy to use administration
Cons Nearly impossible to find external antennas to boost range
Recommended it? Yes

The WAP-11 is a great way for someone to build a network involving laptops and other portable 802.11 devices, but there is more to the story.

One could use the WAP-11 not only as an access point, but as a point-to-point bridge, or as a point-to-multi-point bridge. In fact, I have five... Read full review »
