Reviews of the Actiontec 54Mbps wireless access point
-
CNET Review
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.
