Hi, My associate got to test in our labs the WSB24 and for our testing purposes it increased the effective range by around 60-75% that you can receive with your wireless unit. It seemed to increase the range more for the WAP11 then for the BEFW11S4 due to the power output and the db gain being stronger on the wireless router. Here is a link to the data specs off our website: ftp://ftp.linksys.com/datasheet/wsb24_ds.pdf I do not believe that this item has hit the stores just yet...it is posted on buy.com with a price...but they should be out soon. Another website for antennas is www.fab-corp.com but since you want something that will be visually appealing then you might want to wait for the signal booster if this is for home use. Enjoy!!

AP suggestions? Hi, Linksys recently releases WIRELESS SIGNAL BOOSTER. (WSB24) Have any of you got it a try? I plan to get one but want to know your experience and suggestion. www.hdcom.com is nice but I feel like to have an integrated system since the wireless AP will be in my living room and I want to have a "nice looking" device in my apartment...
