Does anyone know of an 802.11g access point that is configurable to class b networks(255.255.0.0). All the AP's that I have seen are for Class c networks(255.255.255.0).

If your trying to setup enterprise level network you should look into an enterprise level ap, try out cisco, we have had great success with them here at work and they seem to have a tremendous range and quailty over the linksys :) good luck

I need to set up 8 laptops with wireless connections for board meetings which are once a week for about 2 hours. The machines will stay in the board room so distance is not going to be a problem. I want to stay cheap that is why I am looking at the SOHO market. I did talk to someone at Belkin today and they told me that their Wireless access point will work with a class b network.

Checkout any Orinoco product. Very configurable and not very expensive (for the lower end prodocts that is).

I got the Belkin F5D7130. It works well with my class b network, and configuration was next to nothing.

Remember that the 802.11 g out now is the Draft version. Think beta(not really just an example) The official 802.11 g comes out in June.

Yeah I know. If we ever decide to go wireless in more than just the board room we will definatly go with something a little higher end. I just needed a low cost solution for now.
