Anyways, keep em comments coming!

Im still knocking heads with our Network Security department. Our budget for this one is basically unlimited.

Diba yung MAC is like the serial number for the lan card? Sorry, it's been quite a while since i tinkered with PCs and Networks for a living

BTW, what are the 'real world' range figures for the WAP11? walls and all?

MAC-addresses
Media Access Control layer addresses
48-bit address that is hardwired into the netcard

DHCP, among others, use this to identify a machine requesting a certain IP-address within its lease duration

in short... yes it's like a serial number for LAN / WiFi / etc. Although, in some cases you can have a similar MAC Address with another similar device.

"Real World" range is dependent on your environment. These SOHO (small office / home office) products were designed with the American Home/Office in mind. Meaning dry wall, wood and no to minimal cement or metal in most cases. Thus signal strength is stronger. If your house/office has thick "buhos" cement then range would decrease significantly. In this case, if you have a pretty huge area to cover, commercial grade AP's are required.
