Managed wireless controller
I have office of 4 floors which are total 16 access points are connected ,
Access points(i know they are wireless routers with one one WAN port , but i am utilising them as access points ) are low end Linksys device model WRT -54G .
i want a device from which i can manage all these 16 access points , some wireless lan controller , but not from cisco , as thats quite expensive .
my objective is to change any configuration , monitor the access points are ON , clients are athenticating or not , or i can change the channels o particular device from a single console rather accessing each device one by one .
need some cheaper solution , if its giving less option to manage , i can live with that .

Ruckus is a good solution for what you are describing - a ZoneDirector Manager with Zoneflex access points.
The range is exceptional and you ,ay well find that you do not need anywhere as near as many APs as you do with a cisco system.
There are also no hidden licenses - you buy a ZD license based on the number of APs you wish to use (upgradeable) and that's it.

Yup, apologies, my bad for not reading the Q fully ..
SHould be noted tho that the Linksys routers all need to be flashed with the Sputnik firmware or at least DDWRT in order to allow them to be managed.
