Basically, in lower power access points--like consumer Apple airport base stations the signal is broadcast in a circular fashion around the base station. But as the power increases, the signal becomes more and more narrow until at the highest powers the signal is simply broadcast in a line from the access point to the receiving end. At least that's how I understand it. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
