We use the Cisco 1200 APs. They are great for this solution. They have a primary and secondary antenna jack. They are similar in capability to the Orinoco. They too have the ability to do dual-channel support for around $250 more.
They are a bit pricey however. I wouldn't buy them for home, but we have 12 in our office building and they work great. --- The Captain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm looking for an inexpensive way to extend the > range of 802.11b.
