[plug] OT - Wireless, again

[Ben Jensz]

Personally for business purposes I wouldn't use anything other than Cisco.

I've read of issues with some of the D-Link gear being used in a 
permanent setup having issues with locking up and needing to be power 
cycled (comments were from someone using the WA Freenet with D-Link gear).

You need to look at it from a business point of view, price is only one 
small aspect of the equation.  You have to look at support, reliability, 
performance and compatibility of the equipment.  The way I see it when 
it comes to spending money, is that you either do something properly... 
or you don't do it at all.  Doing a half-baked version of something 
might save you money upfront, but it won't in the long run thats for sure.

I wouldn't even present a "cheap" option to them at all.  Because at the 
end of the day, even if you explain that something is "cheaper" and "not 
as good an option" etc and that you should go for the more expensive 
option and they opt for the cheap option and it doesn't work properly... 
they will lay the blame on you.
