I had watched the listserv mailings back in mid-2001 when I first installed the original Linksys equipment, but had stopped following the threads as my initial requirement had been met. Now I really need to improve the range of the WAP-11 [see specs below].
I have a home LAN based on the original Linksys WAP-11 - which was, I believe, 802.11b. The unit is nearly 2 years old. The house and attached office are about 125 feet long and 2-stories high. I am waiting for true roll-out of the new IEEE spec and products for it, rather than at this time risk that a 54G product will prove to be a problem. However, I have serious reception problems within the house even on the same floor at a distance of more than 50 to 60 feet. I would like to install either, or both, an indoor external antenna and signal booster. Linksys WAP is original version 1.1 with firmware 1.4h.3 - antenna diversity feature enabled. PC cards are WPC-11 - the original - from summer of 2001. Can someone suggest a reasonable solution to this reception problem - that does not entail disassembly and soldering. With regards, glc --------------------------------------- Gerald Clarke Boston University School of Management, Finance/Economics Dept.
