Yeah that's not the same kind of product at all.  That's an access

Agreed entirely that Ubiquiti rox your sox though.

This would work, but it's a lot more expensive:

 Pretty good at breaking WEP (in the lab of course, heh) and gets
great reception, especially when paired with a 9db gain omni antenna..
