[DC LoCo] shopping for a good WAP

[Chuck Glenn]

Since Fios's box only has WEP (not even WPA/1), I disabled their radio and
installed one of these:
TP-Link TL-WA500G 54Mbps eXtended Range Wireless Access Point
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XKJ17I/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some reviews on amazon complain abuot the setup, but I found it very
straightforward. It has performed flawlessly as an access point for the 5
months I've owned it. Note that it doesn't do "802.11n", only g/b/a.

Hope that helps!
