In the area of wired switches, I have found that technology has matured |
| 22 |
and you get pretty much the same performance (100% bandwith) from any |
| 23 |
switch (I paid $12 for some of my switches). I wouldn't necessarily |
| 24 |
recommend it for enterprise-level switching (on the other hand, I also |
| 25 |
plan to use it for some later this year). |

However, I don't know whether this applies to wireless. I bought a |
| 28 |
dirt-cheap Belkin AP a few years ago and found it adequate, but the |
| 29 |
configuration paradigm was bundled (windoze-only) software. |
