The SMC Barricade SMC7004AWBR gets a real mixed review at:
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/reviews/smc7004awbr.asp
Pros: - Supports 64 & 128bit WEP
- Built-in Windows/LPR print server
Cons : - Doesn't support bi-directional printer functions
- 45% throughput decrease with WEP enabled
- Still can't attach external "booster" antennas
Have you observed this? Under what conditions might one notice
the throughput hit?
