Belkin Wireless G Plus F5D7231 seems ok, otherwise I recommend Netgear's
Rangemax, the cheapest model which perfoms really well and has quite a reach
due to its antenna principle is about 80 bucks I think.
Belkin for the price, Netgear for best signal and distance.
Doesn't the Netgear Rangeamax require matched wireless NICs at the
other end of the path, to take advantage of its diversity
transmission?
If your room layout allows it, a simple parabolic reflector put on the
usual single vertical antenna can confine the signals to about a
90-degree sector, with a corresponding 4 times increase in
sensitivity. That's 12dB. Also keeps the signals out of the street
in front of the house.
