Netgear WNAP210 Prosafe Wireless N Access Point: Review and rate

Wireless routers are a commodity for all those with Internet access, be it for home or business use. Wireless routers such as the Netgear WNAP210 Prosafe Wireless N Access Point allow all those within range to surf the web and check their emails without the need for obtrusive cables and wires. How does this wireless access stand-up when compared to its many rivals?

About The Netgear WNAP210 Prosafe Wireless N Access Point

The Netgear WNAP210 Prosafe Wireless N Access Point is primarily designed to be used by small businesses rather than home use, so it's important to keep that in mind when reviewing the product. It has a 802.11n access point, although, it is also compatible with 802.11g access points. Design The WNAP210 is small and light-weight, making it easy to hide away in corners or hanging from a ceiling. Its stylish white colour allows it to blend in seamlessly with most office spaces, making it the perfect choice for those who want to hide such clutter out of sight. It comes with a one gigabit Ethernet port that supports Auto Uplink, which allows the access point to sense when it is connected to a router, negating the need for Ethernet cables. The port also supports Power over Ethernet. Advanced settings Running the device under the default settings should cause no problems, which is a relief for those who simply want to plug in and use the product straight away, however, there are some advanced features for those that want them. The WNAP210 can run in several different modes, including a wireless point-to point bridge, as a repeater or as a client. There is also a number of security features, including the option to set-up to eight SSID. Performance At close range, the WNAP performs admirably, although it is hardly
ground-breaking in its market, but as the distance begins to increase, the rate begins to drop noticeably. Although, it is a capable piece of machinery, there are better alternatives out there for those who want a more reliable option.
