Hello Terry and all,
Notice Tyler is a Linksys rep... nice of him to point that out. I
have no affiliation with either company below.
Stick with a Cisco or ORiNOCO product. It's more than $300 though.
If you want cheaper, read the next paragraph. The ORiNOCO AP-1000 supports
dual wireless cards (and dual antennas). Cost is from $467. Or the AP-2000
which can handle the future upgrades to 5GHz. The Cisco 350 is around the
same price. Both are better APs than the WAP11 (I personally avoid the rest
of the Linksys line of wireless equipment). Cisco has the most output power,
then ORiNOCO. If you go for the Cisco, make sure to get the "ruggized"
version since that has removable antennas.
If you want under $300, get the ORiNOCO RG-1000 (or RG-1100). The
upside with the ORiNOCO equipment (now Proxim) is all of it has antenna
support.
ORiNOCO Products...

Good luck,
