Michael,

That is surprising. I like the Ubiquiti WAP line and my understanding they are very popular with custom installers. Looking at the link you provided, it was a little confusing. I always considered the 26 character key to be just a 13 character ASCII string expressed as a hex number. Many WAPs allow you to either enter the 13 character string directly or its HEX representation.

Mike,

The Zyxel line looks interesting. I use a Mikrotik router and I am not going to change that. I will look at the Zyxel WAP you are using

Lyndell,

If I remember correctly (or am I thinking about some other device) The 9800 had an old style wifi card that in theory would allow you to swap out the radio to a newer version of that card type if one exists. I guess I might have to open up the 9800.
