Ok, I'm going to be venturing into the world of wireless networking and I need to decide which brand of parts I'm going to buy. My brother works at Circuit City and can get me the Linksys WAP11 and WMP11 for around $135 after his discount. However, I've seen on newegg and at some of the price comparison websites (bizrate, pricegrabber) that people have been having mixed results with the Linksys WMP11. So, I priced out an alternative and can get the D-Link DWL-900AP+ and the DWL-520+ for around $145 shipped from mwave. Any suggestions on what brand I should go with. I currently have a Linksys router (BEFSR41) and I'm happy with it, but am wary of those mixed reviews on the WMP11. Thanks a lot guys!

I've never had any issues with the Linksys wireless equipment, and I've installed quite a few WMP11's.

Ok, well it looks like Linksys is a good way to go, so I'll save myself a couple of bucks and go with it. Thanks for the input guys!
