The most useful thing I've found is using VLANs, routing, and multiple SSIDs to control access to my network. I have a WPA2 SSID on the same VLAN as my wired network (servers, printer, etc), and an open SSID on a different VLAN for general net access for friends when they visit. I also like that I can dial down the transmit power. I have the AP in the basement, transmit power reduced coupled with my %$#@$# aluminum siding, the signal doesn't leave the house. True, you could wardrive me with a high gain antenna, but when the neighborhood is filled with "Linksys" and "Netgear" APs I don't look terribly interesting. The pretty graphs and SNMP stuff is cool too, though I haven't gotten my SNMP environment set up to take advantage of that yet. Brian
