I'd truly love to help you further but my experience has been limited. Conceptually it is a great idea with Nortel bringing its switching expertise into the 'gateway' arena however my experience to date with Nortel has been unbelievably poor.

After having been promised a WLAN Gateway switch multiple times by the Sydney Nortel office it never arrived and consequently turned both myself and the associated parties off dealing with Nortel again.

On paper it seems to be a very nice product – personally I recommend checking out 'ReefEdge' or 'Bluesocket' as they both play in purely the WLAN gateway market and can bring a lot more wireless centric functionality to market with them.

If you manage to get your hands on the Nortel wireless switch, you're a luckier man than I.
