CISCO AP for non profit org

Hi all,

I was volunteering for a non profit org and noticed they have some issues connecting newer PCs/laptops to their wifi. Found out they have some old 3com APs that are from the pre-draft N era. I would like to upgrade them but money is tight since it is a non profit. I done some digging and came up with Cisco Aironet 1830.

It costs about $200 per AP. Does anyone have any experience with this APs? Are they alright solution or should I look into something else? or does anyone have different ideas for AP?

Thanks a bunch!

A lot of times non profits can get pretty good discounts on hardward and software. I used to do a lot of work with non profits when I worked for an MSP. Check out TechSoup: Power Up Your Social Impact

Ubiquiti AP's are cheap and an excellent solution. You can setup them up with a controller for easier management, and the WiFi range and strength on them is excellent, especially for the price.
