Re: Durable AP Needed

We've been using Ruckus ZoneFlex APs for a while. They have 2.4 and 5 GHz
radios, internal antenna with good range and four switch ports. You can use
a mains adapter or PoE to power them. The downside is probably going to be
price.

I'm hoping someone can recommend a durable AP for use in demos and travel.
 I typically carry a few Linksys WRT's, or newer E4200's, but between my
leaving home or a hotel and getting home, they are frequently broken (along
with a suspicious "Hey, we invaded your privacy in the name of security
theater TSA flyer").  Not that I'm jaded, or anything.

I need the AP to be 802.11 b/g/n (5 GHz a/n is optional) with at least
four switch ports and support for NAT to an uplink network.  I also need it
to support open security, WEP, WPA2-PSK and WPA2 Enterprise IEEE 802.1X
(which my Linksys AP's do no problem).  External antennas are not desirable
just for reliability (very little range is needed).

The smaller the better, and I would love a metal case like some of the
older Netgear units, but realize that metal and WiFi are problematic.

Any advice?

Thanks!
