The network you described is using both a home-level and enterprise-level device. One good solution, especially if you DO go Cisco, is look into the “Cisco Small Business” Line..

A Good wireless router/FW is the WRVS4400N: uses 2×2 wireless N, has a decent firewall, can handle more through-put than your D-Link and runs anywhere from $150-$200.

The Aironet mentioned earlier isn’t a “wireless router”, but more of an “Access Point”, which would require being cabled into a switch/router…

Where did you get that great pricing on the Cisco Aironet Wireless? This commercial equipment is usually quite expensive.

Aironet 1250 standard AP for north America 802.11g/n, NEW
List $1,249.00 Refurbished $795.00

802.11a/g NON-MODULAR IOS AP; RP-TNC; FCC CONFIG, NEW
List $999.00 Refurbished $545.00

Not including antenna’s & cable!

If you like Cisco there is always Linksys (Which they bought out to also be in the consumer market)

Thanks for the suggestion BobKberg. I’ve got the server, switch, routers and phone system on Tripp-Lite UPSs, so I’m pretty sure I have clean power.

Jirvine, I’ll look at the Cisco. I was leaning that way anyways because I have a Pix, but as you said, they’re pricey, so I was looking to see if there was a less expensive option – not the $59 variety, but not $500+ either.

Thx, Mike.
