I am thinking to buy it for home. I just need a reliable WAP-N . No extra feature as DHCP, DNS, etc. is located elsewhere in my network. Has anyone used it? I'm familiar with several corporate class Cisco Waps (Aironets, mostly), but never tried this one in particular.

Oh, I need WPA encryption and MAC Address filter. I can't understand if the latter is available.

What do you use the MAC filter for? If security, it's too easy to spoof a MAC address and get around it to be serious security.

Actually, true. I take it back. No MAC Address filter actually "needed". It's more of a old habit, for me, to use it, but there's no real reason these days.
