Linksys WAP4410n Wireless Access Point (Cisco)

The Linksys (Cisco) WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point is my choice for adding high speed, reliable, WiFi access to my business client’s networks.

We use the WAP4410n because of its ability to provide excellent coverage over a large office area with multiple floors and many obstructions.

Data security is paramount, and the Linksys (Cisco) WAP4410n provides the highest level of WiFi security currently available.

Inexpensive WiFi access points have a tendency to give poor coverage and an unreliable signal and connection. The QoS connection provided by this wireless access point is solid enough and fast enough for streaming video; increasingly important in today’s office environment.

One of the cool things about this WAP is the PoE (power over ethernet) capability. Just make sure you have 802.3af compliant PoE power provided by your network switch or through a compliant PoE injector. This way you can mount the WAP4410n anywhere you can get an ethernet cable to (within distance limits) and not have to worry about having surge protected or battery backup 110v power available.

You may want to mount the WiFi access point high up on a wall or even above a drop ceiling where there is no wall outlet available, let alone the additional surge protection or battery backup required.

Sometimes you get what you pay for and when looking for a business class WiFi access point the more expensive WAP4410n wireless access point from Cisco Linksys is worth the money.

Below you will find a video introduction I have done and later I hope to add a configuration screencast showing how easy it is to setup this WAP4410n and add reliable WiFi access to your network quickly, easily and securely.
