I have a couple for use with a dish reflector to make a high-gain directional
WiFi rig for boosting the range.
I've read about people getting good results with large metal coffee

Have you looked for a Mac able wifi USB adaptor? and router if needed?
I'd heard that USB wireless adapters were generally not very good. I'm

From a quick read on the Internet, I found that some wireless DSL

to the max, it will take
Howdy,
If you are willing to tinker a bit, it can be much cheaper. I made
mine for $15. I bought an Airlink AR430W from Fry's and reflashed it
with the DD-WRT firmware. It works fine as a wireless bridge. Fry's
