Anyone have experience with ProCurve 420 APs?
(OP)
Hello,
I originally was planning on outfitting my church with 802.11n access points, but it looks like the good ones are out of my price range. So, I'm now leaning towards buying older reliable b/g APs.
Does anyone here have experience with the ProCurve 420 APs? In particular, do they have good signal range/quality and do you consider them reliable? They appear to have the features that I want (VLAN support, multiple SSIDs), and I can get them for pretty cheap.
If not the ProCurve 420, can you recommend something else? I don't have my heart set on ProCurve, but I've only heard good things about their products.
One more question:
I'm tentatively planning on connecting my APs to a ProCurve 2810-24g. Now, I was informed that this switch does not support ACLs. Will I be able to configure the APs, switch, and router in such a way (i.e., without using ACLs) that one wireless network / VLAN only has access to the Internet and the other wireless network / VLAN has access to the Internet and to other network resources?
Thanks!

you'll need to add ACL's to your L3 device (i believe you said it was going to be a FreeBSD box) to restrict the traffic flow.

I'm by no means experienced at networking, so don't be afraid to dumb this down for me.

Also, do you have any experience with the HP 7102dl router? I'm considering purchasing this instead of trying to hack together a Linux box.
Thanks,

as for the 7102dl, no, i've never used one before. you might want to take a look at some of the 800 series Cisco routers. if you get one of the W models it comes with wireless built-in. the SDM is actually a very good GUI (mind you, i'm no GUI fan so that says a lot).
I guess I should ask, what kind of Internet connectivity does the Church have?? Cable, DSL, FiOS??
