D-Link 2100AP Wireless Access Point Bombs?

So who’d a thought that within the space of just a few days we’d be panning a D-Link product twice? (See Alice’s thoughts on the D900.) This time, however, we’re really talking about a bomb –or at least the appearance of one.

A guy in New South Wales, who shall remain nameless for reasons that are about to become obvious, decided to buy a D-Link 2100AP wireless AP and yank the guts out of the case, epoxy them into plastic PCB case, stick it out where the sun does shine, and, within 10 hours, out come the cops to dig up the wires from his lawn and grill the guy. Somebody in the neighborhood reported that it was a bomb.

We live in tough times, right? Well, they guy is miffed and a half at the police for the way they handled the affair. Says they could have been more sensitive.
