The linear distance from receiver to receiver is the key. 802.11b will reach to about 150' (~46M). Apple says 802.11g reaches about 50' (~15M) on their hardware page about the ABS Extreme. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Range varies greatly based on the base station and the card you are using. On occasion I have had multiple 802.11b cards with me and some would work where I was while others would not even see the base. The last time I checked (about 3 months ago) the two most powerful (longest range) base stations were the Netgear WGT624 and the Linksys WRT54g (with 3rd party firmware). -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
