Ok I have ordered three options to see how they go: * Edimax EW-7128G PCI card (rt61 based) * TP-Link TL-WN550G PCI card (Atheros based) * TP-Link TL-WN321G USB card (rt73 based)
If they fail to give the desired result, then I can get one of the expensive D-Link extended range options. They seem to stick with the same (Atheros based) chipset and should work well, although occasionally involve some fiddling. It might be time I learned ddwrt.
