Stay away from the cheapass SOHOWare accesspoints sold at Best Buy.  They
work okay, but when you get the access point...you don't get any software
to configure the unit with.  That software comes only with the
corresponding cards they sell...and won't work with any other cards.

So you can't turn on any encryption or filtering or anything like that.
