Without Antenna I have never seen one of these do better than 150' BEFW11s4..

Initially, I'm going to be using it with an iBook with an AirPort card, but my hope is that it would have decent range and support external - gain antennas (hopefully to be able to provide service to a cafe around 1000 feet away) and interoperate with others equipment. I have a Linksys BEFSR41 already, acting as a NAT box, so NAT ability is not necessary.. (although a built in switch is nice as it would enable me to ditch some hubs..) I've been looking at the BEFW11s4.. would that be a good choice? The price is right as I've been seeing it for $99 with rebate.. I'm a newbie in this area, but I do have some RF background..
