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 »

Cons May lack some advanced features uber-geeks want.
Recommended it? Yes

Thus far, after about two weeks of use, this is the best wireless access point I've ever owned (I've tried 3 others over the years).

Wireless "N" is the newest generation of latest-and-greatest wifi, offering greater speeds and twice the range of the previous generation, wireless "G." I... Read full review »

Cons Software can be complicated to untangle if you have previous airport networks running.

Yes, the big news the day this product came out was the iPhone. iPhone, which is yet to be seen, and is not what these people have done for a living for the past 30 years. And yet, a bread and butter device- the lowly WiFi hub, was truly and remarkably transformed that day, and unless you were... Read full review »
