From: "Glenn Meadows" 

No, didn't see that when I bought.... my Linksys WAP's died one day
(actually they died about 4 days apart, we had 2 running), and I replaced
them with this one D-Link so I could use the G connection.  My hardwire lan
port in this Thinkpad has gone flakey, will randomly disconnect/reconnect,
and since I use the D-Link at home, it was better to just add the WAP here,
and adjust the power DOWN, and enable both Mac address and WEP 128bit
encryption.  I've walked around the office, and only at the extreme areas,
do I lose the signal at this power setting, so it works for me this way.
Don't have many others trying to connect, and if a guest comes in, and
want's to wireless in, I can add their mac address to the list for the
duration of their stay, and enter the WEP password to get them going.  When
they leave, I delete their MAC address from the authorized list.
