Hello Florin, The 54G is not bad for SOHO hardware, which would lead me to believe there are other solutions to your question. "Increasing range" can mean many things. Can you share more about your setup with us? Who/Where/etc...
I think it is better to worry about computing your "total path loss" rather than getting fired up on the biggest loudest talker. Also consider an external antenna, either omni or directional. (ergo what are you trying to accomplish?) To answer your question: On APs, I like the Orinocos. Maybe you can eval your needs via this link? http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/HardwareComparison Lastly, if you feel like hacking your AP, look into the www.Sveasoft.com builds or http://wifi-box.sourceforge.net -Jason On Tue, 22 Jun 2004, Florin Andrei wrote: > I'm currently playing with a Linksys WAP55AG access point (a+g) but i'm > very disappointed with its range.
