[Shop-talk] OT: Wireless router (again)?

I'm using a Linksys WAP54G at work.  It has twin external antennas.  Covers
our 15000 sq. ft. call center just fine.

At home I have a Dlink DI-624.  It has a single external antenna, and seems
to cover my 2200 sq ft house pretty well.  

Not sure what either cost these days, but I'd buy either one again.

Subject: [Shop-talk] OT: Wireless router (again)?

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 probably because 
my laptop doesn't have built in WiFi and I'm using a USB dongle to connect 
to the WiFi.  However, there are probably lots better routers out there, 
too.  Anyone got any recommendations, preferably one that can be bought 
locally, for example, at Fry's?

Thanks.
