I'm going to probably order some next week and put them up in a couple of continuis problem area's to test them out in my network. I can't loose anything since no one has been able to connect to the AP for a long time, I can only gain by them connecting...

Has anyone tried these yet? If so any feedback good or bad so we can use these in the interim till SB gets there stuff together?
