CompUSA has $8 802.11b AP's, Routers, PCI and PCMCIA cards. I've used both the belin routers and the AP's they're selling here, and they both work fine. My parents house has two of the AP's plugged into the $10 frys home router from years back, and they've never called me about any of it not working.

Wow. Good pricing.

The $8 802.11b AP is exactly the one I have here. Great range/reception, nary a problem with it. Has an SNMP (not SMTP.. doh!) management interface that's not protected, though. WEP only (no WPA on mine).

Cheers

If you want another one I'd be happy to send one up there. I ordered three to add to my inventory.

SNMP maybe? It'd be hard to manage an AP with email messages...

Dear Access Point,

You may wonder why I'm writing to you, well I was hoping you could please change to channel 11.

Hope everything is okay with you,

Cheers,

Make sure you save this post for when someone makes an AP that has this feature so you can get some royalties

Seems every store in Colorado is out. This must be their way of getting rid of 802.11b stuff. I was hoping for a cheep access point to maybe make into an in car bridge for the empeg.

Yeah, I don't even think the prices are available in store. Send me your mailing address, if they send me mine I'll forward one on to you.
