Product Description

The Linksys Wireless-G Exterior Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network so you can add PCs to the network with no cabling hassle. This weather-proof Access Point creates a wireless bubble in exterior spaces, like patios, pool areas, and outdoor cafs. Power over Ethernet support makes it easy to install, and you can create multiple SSIDs that connect to individual VLANs to keep your traffic separated. Its also perfect for use as a bridge, a kind of cable-less cable to connect remote areas together. Maybe your warehouse is in a separate building from your offices. Or maybe you need to connect the separate buildings of a college campus. With one Wireless-G Exterior Access Point on each building, youre connected at 54Mbps with no cable to run. The exterior-rated case protects the access point, and contains an internal antenna.

I have installed 2 of these and both have the same bad performance issues. I have to reboot them several times a day because the device loses its connection between it's own wireless interface and it's own wired interface. If your computer connects via the wireless, you will loose access to anything past the device. You can not even ping the device's own IP address. If yoiu reboot it, then it works for a while. I did a little more research and found out that this is a common problem. I am now trying to return them.

I have installed several of these for clients and have found them to work perfectly when configured properly. The Linkys unit is a best value for a wireless access point and the line of sight range with the optional antenna is at least 1/2 mile.
