RE: [MLUG] another wireless question

["Nowlin, Dan" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

802.11 (WIFI wireless) has about a 150 feet range.  Thick walls like
brick will shorten this distance.  To get more distance to can get a
WIFI WAP/router that has removable antenna and add your own antenna that
has a better gain.  As for what brand... Linksys is made by Cisco and
they are good.  I have a Belkin and am happy with it.
