It's supposed to be much better.. Ah... my jury is still out. We have one in the office. Tips over about every three days... total lack of wireless side connectivity when it goes-- ie, zero signal at all nodes... yet the wired side is still up and happy and shows no problems on the status screen. Have to either power cycle it or re-apply the setup screen to buy it back. I've got an engineering contact at Linksys who is supposed to send me a double-secret BETA firmware upgrade for it next week. We'll see. Of course, firmware for the 1.x version does not work on this version. At this point, I'm offering that it is quite a step down from the previous generation WAP11. I have not taken it apart yet so can't confirm or deny whether ATMEL is inside or not. Chris -- Chris Elmquist mailto:chrise at pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~chrise
