The Aironet gear is great, but it's about 4x more expensive than Proxim's stuff. Costwise speaking, if LAN bandwidth is important, as well as WAN bandwidth, then 11 mbps technology like Cisco's is definitely the way to go. But if the use of the bandwidth is primarily for WAN/Internet, then your broadband connection becomes the slowest link and you pay a premium for 11 mbps when you can only get to the net at 1.5 mbps.

I suspect that within a year, 11 mbps bandwidth for wireless will become the industry standard and prices will plummet.

BUT in the home wireless networking arena I would reccomend the Cisco Aironet gear, it is capable of 11 mbps and can cover 150 ft indoors through walls AND if you happen to be a bit adventurous you can connect an external antennea and link a few of your friends in to your network the extra gear is a bit pricy but it allows a range of 25 miles at 11 Mbps and out to 50 at 1 mbps with LOS. I curently have four friends of mine with the antennaes and the bridges($1100) and we are spanned accross a 7 mile range getting 11 MBps connectivity...my next step will be to split the cost of a fractional and finally get the access I have been craving but have been denied. Anyone know ballpark what a t1 will run??
