Cheap Wireless Access Point
If you're already buying something from frys.com and want a cheap wireless access point to ship with it, get a WAP11. O'Reilly points out:
But the bridging firmware makes the WAP11 more than just cheap and functional. In bridging mode, you can connect two or more WAP11s together to pass wired Ethernet traffic among one another, creating a super-network. If you have multiple facilities nearby or with line of sight between them, you can avoid telephone company digital line charges, as well as recurring fees for separate Internet connections in each facility.
Bear in mind that this is a fairly old 802.11b unit, suitable primarily for hobbyists or if you need a cheap bridging solution.
