I'm trying to decide between Netgear's ME102 (http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=11&yrp=30&zrp=92) and MR314 (http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=11&yrp=30&zrp=115). The ME102 is a dipole WAP whereas the MR314 is a unipole and a 4-port switch. I don't need the extra 4-ports but it would be nice. The specs say they have the same range, but the dipole *should* be better. Any opinions?

I've never tried the netgear wireless products, but I've got a Linksys wireless basestation and its absolute crap. While it does have two antenna's and get good range, I've had 2 break on me and its a pain to get Linksys to replace them. Linksys makes me send them back, then, they miraculously test fine and they send them back without fixing them. After I sent them in again, they replaced only the power supply and they were still broken, and I had to call their VP of customer service to get them to send me a replacement. I will never buy any of their products again.
