As an access-point my two disapointments with this device are its 
relativly poor range (relative to say a linksys wap11 which isn't all 
that great itself), and that it doesn't have nat functionality. The later 
you generally don't need since in hotels and other peoples networks there 
either enough address space to go around or it's already nated, but it's 
nice to have when there isn't any other choice.
