Comments about Netgear ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point:
I have 4 of these all powered by one FS116P switch and it all works beautifully. There is no need to reset it every few days like the 3COM access points it replaced, even when 20 clients connect to the same access point. With POE there is no need to run any power cables, and if I ever needed to reset the system I can just unplug the one switch and it kills the power to all my access points. Setup through the Web interface was easy and only took a few minutes. I have not had any issues with users not able to connect.
I have nothing bad to say about this AP

Comments about Netgear ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point:
I experienced connection issues with the WG103 using its encryption modes. Basically, my devices would try to make the connection, and immediately disconnect. I have been troubleshooting this device for some time now. I finally got another WAP product to compare performance, and everything worked fine on the new WAP. Based on other information I found on the internet, I turned off the encryption, and my devices immediately connected fine to the WG103, but having no encryption turned on would be stupid.
Netgear does not have any firmware updates on their website as of this review. I can not tell if this is specific to the product I have, or all of the WG103 products, but at [...], I am sure disappointed. I will have to await the firmware update to see if it solves this issue.
I cannot recommend this product, and I hope this review helps others avoid my frustrations with the WG103.
