5.0 out of 5 stars Cisco Aironet 1231 Access Point is the BEST!!, July 12, 2005

This review is from: Cisco Aironet 1231 - wireless access point ( AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 ) (Personal Computers)

This access point does require a little bit of "know how". In fact, there are technical classes you can take on this access point. The material is 800+ pages. I am a techy and I prefer this access point above all others. It transmits the bests signal, it provides the most secure options, and fall back repeater mode if you have multiple. The attenas available to purchase are numerous for so many different topologies and deployment strategies. This access point is a business line access point, not a consumer line access point. The previous comment was from an individual who obviously doesn't know much about wireless. It is the best access point on the market in my opinion. For business use, it is the only one I will use.

This is perfect for anyone considering an AP. It is true that it is used but it is almost guaranteed that it will outlast any consumer line product for 2 or 3 times the money. This reduced my down time to zero under load, which is what really matters. will buy again in a heartbeat.
