[MLB-WIRELESS] Access Point Question

[Andy Freeman]

You shouldn't have any trouble with the Compaq access point.  In fact
this email is coming to you via one!
 
I have modified one and it is sitting at the top of a 50 foot mast,
running power over Ethernet.  Compaq have some software updates on their
web pages which fix a few bugs and give you more security.
 
If you want to run an external antenna you will need to open it up and
modify one of the little pigtails that run from the radio to the
antenna.  As far as I know you cannot buy the connectors separately.
 
If it's the right price I would recommend it.  Mine has been very
reliable in a plastic box in the weather!!!
 
 
Andy.

Hello All,
  I have found myself an Access Point, a compaq wl400, the thing is it
only has a 10mb/s output on
the ethernet connection. I was wondering is this sufficient enough to
run as an access point for my
area ?
The specs can be seen here :

  Thanks very much,
       Cameron
