Linksys seems to be the best of all I've tried, but I, too, was not satisfied with the range. High-gain antennas helped, but the best solution has been a Cisco WRE54G wireless extender. That puppy shoots a signal almost 100' through an aspen grove and brick church to an office annex.

I just bought a Netware router, and it seems to have pretty good range as far as my laptop being able to pick up the signal everywhere in the house. However, for my son's PC I bought a Netware adapter that plugs into one of the USB ports of his computer, and that doesn't pick up the signal worth squat. I may have to pop for an adapter card.

Look at one of these

I use US Robotics gear for the router - their latest superG router does a very nice job as a firewall and router.

I use Linksys USB G adapters on the PCs and when I travel - their range and reception are incredible. Once boosted the range to half a mile by cutting a coffee can in half and placing the adapter in the center.

Router street price: $80
Adapter street price: $50

I don't like the mini version they have for laptops, though my neighbor swears by them.

I'm posting this as your friend martin, in an attempt to restore your dignity and reputation after starting a thread about wireless 802.11g routers/cards.

The linksys works pretty good for me but if you're really going a distance (or have odd material in your walls you many need to invest in a signal booster..

Oh, have you tried other channels? In my neighborhood, because of the density of wireless 'things', I'm on channel 9 which seems to be clear of interference.

As for placements, I moved mine to the attic after getting frustrated in trying to get a signal around a chimney.

Anyone have any experience with one of these new Linksys monstrosities?

We're using the Linksys Wireless-B WPC11 wireless card in our laptop, with a Linksys router.

I can only attest to the merits of that: and that Linksys' customer service is the best I've ever had. They have helped me with repeated problems multiple times.

I finally figured out my 2.4 Ghz cordless phone was interfering with my wireless network, so upgraded that instead to a 5.8 Ghz phone. Is it possible this might be causing your problems as well?

You lose signal?

Make your time.
