SMC Draft 11N Wireless Access Point Ethernet Client Us Power Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros: Works very well as both an access point and a client. The auto channel selection helps a lot in a neighborhood with several wireless networks.

Con: Bad design decision (yes, I've asked them) with regard to MAC filtering... generally accepted use is to restrict wireless device access, but SMC uses it to filter ALL packets, from both wired and wireless networks.

The one problem I've found with this device would be more of a problem if MAC filtering were actually effective for WLAN security these days. Aside from that, though, it's good at what it does.
