Hello all,

Mitch,  If you can move around the BEFW11s4 to see if that will improve the
signal or Linksys has the WSB24 Wireless Signal booster that is just coming
out.

Gordon, Call the support line 800-326-7114 ask if you can speak with 2nd
level support and they may be able to assist.

Eric, I do not see a A,B,G unit all in one for the future the most likely
migration will be the A-G in one router, AP, and NIC's ;)

Enjoy,
Ken

How long before we start seeing triple standard a/b/g NICs and APs? I 
suspect those are the products we really want. Or will g win out and a/b 
just fade away? (remembering that all g products should interop with b 
products)

Remember that 802.11a operates in the 5 GHz band which is a lot less 
crowded than the 2.4 GHz one. Not to say that it is open and useable in all 
countries, though :-(

Bryan,

I'd be interested to know what success you find with the BEFW11S4 (WLAN)
<----> WET11 <--x--> BEFW11S4 (WAN) configuration. I had the same situation
with my neighbor. The remote donor is a BEFW11S4, the client is a WET11, and
the local client is a BEFW11S4. For some reason it didn't work to connect
the WET11 to the WAN port of the local BEFW11S4. It worked fine connecting
the WET11 to a LAN port of the local BEFW11S4, though it (obviously) does
not separate the two networks.

Gordon

Subject: [BAWUG] Linksys BEFW11S4 Antenna?

Hi,

I just purchased a Linksys Wireless router for my home.  Everything works
great except for one thing: the range of the device.  I had a RoamAbout
previously that had an external antenna to boost reception, but I can't seem
to find anything similar for the Linksys.  Does anyone know how I can boost
my reception?  Is there an antenna that I can purchase?  Alternatively, is
there some placement that will optimize my performance?  I've looked through
the manual and the linksys site, but they don't have much info there.

Thanks,
Mitch

Telepathy is great stuff...

I *just* got done hunting for these myself.

There are a bunch, and (though they might be pricier) CDW carries many
of them.  The one I was looking at was an 8.5 dbi patch, from Proxim,
CDW part number 7024-05.  It's about a bill and a half.

Search for "antenna" and scroll to the 802.11 section.

Cheers,

Subject: [BAWUG] outdoor Bridge/AP design question

I'm building a pole-mounted bridge/AP using Matt Peterson's cool outdoor
access point enclosure v1 as a model.  I plan to use the antennas
supplied with the WET11 and BEFW11S4 units, and had a key question: what
is the minimum separation I should use between the WET11 and BEFW11S4
antenna sets?  Can I mount one set on the bottom of the Pelican 1400
case and the other on the top?  Case outside dimensions are 13 3/8" L x
11 5/8" W x 6" D.

If anybody has a better idea, please clue me in.

Vince
