The new 3Com OfficeConnect wireless cable/DSL gateway and the 3Com Wireless LAN Access Point 8200 helped me get over my networking phobia. Both devices were easy to install and didn’t require any technical knowledge. I was able to connect two desktops and three mobile workstations in a matter of minutes.
The Good News: You may never need to worry about network interruption by cordless phones and monitor noises again.
The Wish List: You can never get too much speed.
The Bottom Line: Studios shopping for networking devices have found their Holy Grail. The new 3Com wireless networking devices allow networking signals to travel farther than any previous generation of 3 Com devices.
