I have been using the Westel Versalink router that came with my DSL service from Verizon. I use it wired to my desktop and wireless to the laptop. The wireless range really sucks. Part of it is proba

The Linksys WRT54G has been a favorite amongst my geeky friends for years. I got mine at Staples for $35 or so. They price-matched an online flyer from somewhere. I had the 'C' version which stands f

I will also recommend the WRT54g, but I don't run the Linksys firmware, 3rd party DD-WRT firmware for me. He's my firewall and is pretty stable. Nice thing is you an boost the signal range (if you da

There is also the accessory signal booster that attaches to the WRT54G. It looks like another WRT54G but with only a power light. You move the antennas to the new unit and bridge the two with two sm

Technically illegal, just so you know, adding more power can get you into FCC issues. Probably not an issue unless you start interfering with others and they complain. I'd try a good antennae first,

Instead of boosting power, which will raise the noise as well as the signal, I suggest getting a better antenna. There are lots of antennas that will double (+3db) or better (+7dB) the perceived sign

You can set up another access point to act as a wireless repeater using something called WDS. It will join the specified SSID network and pass packets back and forth. The 2.4 phone has a high likeli

You can buy "long range" antenna for the WRT54G. I've seen them at Frys Electronics. They are about 3-4 times longer than the original ones. Jack --Original Message-- From: shop-talk-bounces+jibjib=a
