Cisco Aironet 1131AG - wireless access point ( AIR-AP1131AG-A-K9 ) Review

This review is primarily for home owners who are considering this device.

The Cisco Aironet 113x WAPs are solid, professional devices.The 113x's are very configurable, and provide an exceptional feature set, reliability and distance -- even in congested areas.BUT: they require a very tech savvy consumer to configure them properly.

Tech Notes:
- This devices does not include a DHCP server -- the default config uses the DHCP server on your wired LAN -- there is NO default IP address.
- If default configuration does not work, you will need to use the console interface -- you'll need a serial connection and understanding of telnet.
- Securing the device requires an understanding of the difference between WEP and WPA and use of hex keys (no ASCII)

If any of the above is confusing or scary, you might consider one of the Linksys WAPs (Linksys was recently purchased by Cisco).They tend to be more sensitive to traffic congestion and have lower range, but they are much easier to configure.
