This is my first post and I think that I am making it a good one. I found a Xircom WAP model APWE1120 for $119 + shipping. I searched pricegrabber.com for this and the closest that anyone else had it listed for was $233. This is almost 1/2 off (once you add in shipping for the others, it is 1/2 off).

Here is the link:
Xircom WAP

The site is listing that they have 495 of them so you may want to hurry.
 
my 2 cents...

2.4 GHz ones are not good for a home with lots of walls and rooms. They don't work. Dropped connections etc.

The price is "you get what you pay for" good!

<< 2.4 GHz ones are not good for a home with lots of walls and rooms. They don't work. Dropped connections etc. >>



All 802.11b devices are 2.4GHz aren't they? What do you recommend using for wireless networking? I haven't had any problems with my stuff.
 
Yeah as far as I know all 802.11x are 2.4ghz. There's also a standard that uses the 900mhz band but those are even worse for walls and rooms.
 
If it has an external antennae hookup, or is highly rated, then it might be a warm deal. Otherwise, this is just an access point and the price is above average with other brands. Good enough to post about and hope someone can find a better deal though! That's the classic way to get around the "iwanna" restriction.

Other options (For Wireless Access Points - NOT ROUTERS/Gateways):

TigerDirect has a Gigafast for $125 -$25 rebate = $99. They also have a few others priced a little higher. (They also have the $49.99 Lucent/IBM/Orinco/3Com adapters.)

AMAZON - DLINK WAP for $139 w/ free shipping and $40 Rebate (Final A/R = $99) -or- Buy.com has it for $134.95 +Free Shipping - $40 rebate = $94.95

Buy.com - SMC WAP for $119. NO Rebate

Actually, only 802.11b is on the 2.4 gig spectrum. 802.11a is on the 5ghz frequency.
