Hello Jeff,
I have some experience in 802.11, but unfortuneatly I used to play with
cheap equipment like some Dlink. And now I can buy those 3com for about 100
EUR so I started to wondering .. where is the catch ?
Perhaps that Access Point has some defect or there are some different
problems. In that situation is always better to ask somone who has
experience with that particular Access Point ..
I could'nt find a TX power ... don't You think that's strange?
Does any one knows what is the transmit power of that AP ?
Thank You
Paul Malinowski
