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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 12:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: wireless digest, Vol 1 #1141 - 6 msgs Send wireless mailing list submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of wireless digest..."

Not to say that it is open and useable in all countries, though :-( Jacques. -- Jacques Caron, IP Sector Technologies Join the discussion on public WLAN open global roaming: http://lists.ipsector.com/listinfo/openroaming --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Gordon Arnold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "\"Bryan Deemer\"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FW: [BAWUG] Linksys wireless network question Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 08:36:45 -0800 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.

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 --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 13:28:41 -0500 From: "Jay R.

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, -- jra -- Jay R.

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.
