RE: Netgear Access Point Range

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Mainly because the linksys units are famous worldwide for their
mega-range..

it seemed unusual that the same unit in different plastics would have range
problems, but from what you say, it looks pretty certain that the card is
the real culrpit!

also, because I am thinking of using one in my long range WAN project.
Myself and one of my mates on the other side of Glasgow are looking at a
nice "pringles" network :D

As far as I know yes.

Why?

Is the netgear unit not simply a rebadged linksys? I thought they used the
same innnards?

My WAP11 is in my study at about waist height.  The study is on the
upstairs
floor and pretty central in the house.  With the LinkSys WPC11 I was losing
signal completely just 2 rooms away from the AP.  With the Lucent card I
can
get coverage EVERYWHERE in my house.

My WAP11 is downstairs in a cupboard.  I am about 10 feet from it
horizontally and whatever a standard ground floor height vertically.
I get about 25% signal strength and without moving the devices/changing any
config etc , have had signals vary from 11mb down to 2 mb/sec last night,
ususalyl varying between 11 and 5.
I dread to think what would happen if I went outside with this!
60' & 3 walls seems reasonable for you though - think about poor me :)
