Hello, I was hoping someone would be able to provide some guidance for someone trying to break into wireless. I don't have any experience with cisco wireless, so I was looking into buying a few things to play around with to get started.

I plan on using the vWLC trial if I can with the APs, but was trying to look on ebay for APs. I'm a little confused about some of the different models and options. Can someone recommend an AP model that is cheap but can run a fairly recent version of code. Also, I was having a hard time trying to figure out if a certain AP can even be run with a controller. I know some are autonomous and some are controller-based, but how can I make sure I'm buying the right thing?

Any other recommendations would be appreciated, thank you.

Read Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix.  

AP2700/3700 are good models to start with.  If you muck up the firmware they are extremely easy to fix.  

IMPORTANT:  Make sure to pick the AP with the correct Regulatory Domain.
