I am leanning toward getting a ORiNOCO AP-200 Access Point. They are avaliable for $129.99 from eCost.
I am debating about either getting a Cisco Systems Aironet 350 Series Wireless PC Card which are for $118.99 from eCost or a Proxim ORiNOCO 802.11a/b Wireless Gold ComboCard from
.eCost for $62.95.
Now given the fact that you can buy two ORiNOCO cards for the price of the Cisco unit, is it worth the money to get the Cisco because of its higher quality, better reception, and other benefits that it has over the ORiNOCO? I dont mind spending 120, but I just want to know that I'm not trowing my money out of the window.
The AP will be my wireless network for my laptop while at home so that I can parade around the house with a working connection and work on my car with the benefits of listenning to music off of my PC. The wireless card will be used around my campus, in doorms and in the classrooms.
