    CNET Review

    September 16, 2003

    The Good: Excellent performance; WPA support.

    The Bad: Encryption uses hex keys only; printed setup guide lacks thoroughness; phone-support techs gave bad advice.

    The Bottom Line: This access point's speed is nice, but its competition offers greater configurability and easier setup--and Actiontec's support quality is dicey.
