Product Description
With the growth in high bandwidth applications, such as storage and video in the work place, network performance is essential. Wireless technology is no longer lagging behind wired performance. The Linksys Business Series WAP4400N Wireless-N Access Point answers your growing business' need for access, speed and security. Using the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n), Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate by overlaying the signals of multiple radios. The Linksys Wireless-N Access Point lets you connect Wireless-N (802.11n), Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network so you can add PCs to the network with no cabling hassle. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support makes the Access Point easy to install. You can mount the Access Point anywhere, even without ready access to a power plug. With appropriate PoE support at the other end, you only need to run one cable to the Access Point to deliver both data and power. Operating Channels - 11 North America, 13 Most of Europe (ETSI and Japan) Receiver Sensitivity - 11.n 300Mbps at -69dbM, 11.g 54Mbps at -73dBm, 11.b 11Mbps at -88dBM Security - WEP/WPA/WPA2 WEP 64bit/128bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-ENT, WPA2-ENT Linux Operating System System Requirements - 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n Wireless Adapter With TCP/IP Protocol Installed Per PC, Switch/Router with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Support Or PoE Injector when used with PoE & Web-Based Configuration Java-Enabled Web Browser Dimensions - Width 7.80 x Height 5.16 x Depth 7.80-inches (198 x 131 x 198 mm) Weight - 0.84 pounds (38 grams)

Avoid at all costs -- take 2.......2007-11-15
One star is too high a grade.
I made the grave mistake of buying this router some weeks ago. With difficulty (lousy documentation, etc.) I was able to make it work--most of the time--until last night. It died a slow and painful (for my wife and me) death last night and--because one of us often works from home with an internet connection to an office network--has caused major inconvenience.
Since this somewhat mirrors my experience with a prior Linksys router, the word "Linksys" is now a four letter word in my house, and always will be. So, I'll simply say L***sys, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!
No stronger signal than wireless-G, don't waste your money.......2007-11-01
As of this writing, all reviewers have given it one star. I give it one star as well even though I was able to connect two workstations, each with a Linksys WMP300N wireless-N pci card w/ antenna, to it. Here's why I only give it one star - the signal strength is exactly the same as the wireless-G router (also Linksys) that it was supposed to replace. I even upgraded the firmware to the latest version (1.2.12 at this writing).
Where's the 4X range claimed? I don't know... I paid extra $$$ for this N protocol unit, plus extra $$$ for the N network adapters - no better performace - I'm seriously disappointed!
Here's the claim (copy/pasted): "MIMO technology uses multiple radios to create a robust signal that travels farther and reduces dead spots" - no, this is not true. This is probably true if the signal travels freely through the air with no walls or floors to stop it - not very practical for real-world application.
Bottom line: if you want extended range then avoid this product as if it were a drug-resistant bacteria - seriously!
Nightmare - avoid at all costs.......2007-10-20
After a day of comprehensive testing both in various modes (G-only, B/G/N mixed) and with different security configurations (no encryption, WPA2-Personal/AES) the unit was spectacularly unreliable both with Intel and Linksys NICs. I upgraded the firmware to the most current release before testing began. Absolutely ridiculous, given that my WAP54G access point has been extremely reliable.
After a string of recent disappointments with driver quality and availability, this is the last straw for me. I've been buying a lot of Linksys hardware over the past few years, but now I've had enough. I'm taking a look at Intel, Netgear and D-Link hardware in future for all purchasing requirements, and am not going to bother taking a look at Linksys again, life's too short. That's it.
Linksys senior management feel free to phone me personally (look me up in google) to tell me why I should ever evaluate their products again. But I suspect the company simply doesn't care.
Big, Big Problems.......2007-09-09
If you buy this item, be prepared to spend hours trying to get it installed and setup. The strange thing is that if you connect it to a router, it will connect quickly and get you online BUT if you want to setup your wireless network with security (an important thing) and to do any other configurations, you will have to connect to the unit using a special IP number. The truth is that in most cases, it will be very, very, very difficult to make that connection. Linksys doesn't mention anything about this. The solution requires you to manually reset your IP number and to connect directly with a CAT5 cable and then you have to set your computer back to normal -- but Linksys doesn't bother to tell you this. It took me several hours of searching the web for hints and trying many different things.
I would be very cautious about buying any Linksys product. The company is clearly not interested in providing users with the most basic information required. It would cost them nothing to provide this information -- or to revise the item so it doesn't need such absurdly difficult measures. I'm not buying Linksys again.
works ...some of the time.......2007-09-09
I bought one of these and connected it to a WRT350N on the other side of the house via ethernet cable. I did this because the "4X range" (cough, cough) of the 350N turned out to be more like 1.1X range.
I set it up and it worked immediately. Apparently, the idea of using this as an access point in addition to a wireless router is not something that ever occured to Linksys or, at least to the writer of the manual. So, everything was trial and error. The only info given was to make sure it has the same SSID as the rest of the system. Channels? Settings? Figure it out yourself.
My complaint with this access point is that it frequently drops connection to the rest of the network. The wireless connection to the computer stays up, so you don't actually know when this is happening until you stop getting pages to load in the browser or responses from the server. THe only thing to do is a hard reboot. There is a software reboot, but the AP, unlike the 350N rounter, will NOT allow you to access the firmware from a computer connected to it. You have to go somewhere else to get a signal from the router instead, or a computer hard wired to the network to pull up the AP firmware and order a reboot. Easier just to go and yank the power plug, since I am getting up anyway.
There is a setting that claims to improve "interoperability" with the linksys N card (which I use) enabling it did not fix the problem.
Calling linksys was worse than useless when you factor in the cost of the call. The people answering the phone know nothing at all and are just using the same data base of technical "help" you can get to yourself on their website. It has nothing about this problem, so they can't help. I have been told several times that a level II tech would call me ("within the hour", "sometime today", "as soon as possible") but, to date, that has not happened.
Clearly this product was released too soon.
