| Airlink 101 | AR525W | v1.0.50 | Yes | Used WEP-Open with 128-bit hex key password
| |
| Apple | Time Capsule | XO: Q2E18 | No | 767 | WPA/WPA2 Channel 11 worked for me. Not tested with the scripts here |

| Cisco | AIR-BR1310G-A-K9-R | 12.3(8)JA | Unsecured Only | Works but radio must be set to channels 1, 6, or 11. I normally configure this device to automatically choose the least congested frequency, but in my office that ends up being something other than 1, 6 and 11 most of the time. Note also that activity sharing totally fails with this AP - nada, zip.
