Mobility is not just phones, but things that go with those phones. Most decent phones today have Wi-Fi built into them so you’ll need something to be able to use it right? If you’re looking for one then the smart thing to do would be to get the new 802.11N spec, in either a Wireless N Router or a switch. Chances are that if you’re reading this you’ve got a cable or DSL modem in your home, but you might not have wireless or if you do it’s only 802.11G as most are you get from providers at this point. Some phone today even have wireless N in them, but if you don’t have an N switch or router you won’t be able to fully utilize that speed so it might be time to upgrade or expand your network.
Today for review Geeks.com has sent me over the Airlink 101 AP671W 802.11n Access Point and Switch that despite being inexpensive has several decent features in it. The AP671W can be an Access Point, a Repeater, a Wireless Bridge, Point to Point, Point to Multi-Point or a WDS Bridge. The main feature that everyone should understand is the Access Point, this allows your devices to access the internet through it. One of the other great features of this product is that it can be used as repeater which means it can extend your existing wireless networks range. The AP671W is a basic product with basic features, it’s easy to set up and use and best of all it’s inexpensive.
