The WBR allows up to 8 devices - still a small number.
The 350 added in-line power and 100mw transmit
features to the 340, but little else. The BSE units,
which may be part of the WBR but I don't think so, add
DHCP server and NAT to the offering. I have the 340,
which is great for my needs, but DLINK and SCM both
offer APs with more features and lower prices. (If you
want to work on Cisco get the Aironet and the best
basic product, and if you want CompUSA home features
get the others). ;)
