RE: [OT] Extending Wireless Networks

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nick, Good call but the router is also a 4 port 10/100MB switch
and I want to keep the switch in my office. I did experiment when I
first got the router and to be honest I couldn't find an optimal place
to give the range of coverage I would like.

As an aside, does the "power" of the receiver have anything to do
with
received signal strength? I only have a laptop with built in Wifi. If I
got say a PDA with a WIfi card might this have better reception?

Ta!

Don
