You could try relocating the WAP11 away from the wall... I've run into problems with placing an AP too close to a wall -- sometimes buildings use steel beams or other metal components inside the walls, not to mention AC lines, etc. These could be interfering with your range.

Extended range inside and better signal strength. I use Linksys WPC11 (revison 1.0), which are pretty crappy in the first place, but replacing 6 of them isn't high on the option list. So to try and increase strength and range, I'd like to try a better antenna on the AP site. The WAP11 sits on a desk against the wall. In the room right next to it, where the only dividing structure is a partial wall (there isn't even a door to close), the signal strength is never above 65-70%. That's poor IMHO. It only gets higher if I move into the same room with the WAP11. I can't get any signal if I walk about 200ft down the hallway from the WAP11. -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
