The most useful thing I've found is using VLANs, routing, and multiple
SSIDs to control access to my network.  I have a WPA2 SSID on the same
VLAN as my wired network (servers, printer, etc), and an open SSID on
a different VLAN for general net access for friends when they visit.

I also like that I can dial down the transmit power.  I have the AP in
the basement, transmit power reduced coupled with my %$#@$# aluminum
siding, the signal doesn't leave the house.

True, you could wardrive me with a high gain antenna, but when the
neighborhood is filled with "Linksys" and "Netgear" APs I don't look
terribly interesting.

The pretty graphs and SNMP stuff is cool too, though I haven't gotten
my SNMP environment set up to take advantage of that yet.
