I need recommendations on a *good* 802.11b wireless access point,
to be used between two houses (sitting next to each other, about 15 feet of
space between houses - all components of the network are within 200 feet of
each other).
I've used the Lucent/Orinoco RG-1000 residential gateway, but I think
there are too many walls in the way in this case for it to be effective.
Plus, I cant put an external "booster" antenna on it. They've got their
AP-500 access point, but its $600!
I'm open to other brands, however. I just need to be able to plug the
access point into the existing network swtich, and have it act as a
wireless bridge to the rest of the network. Clients are a combination of
Lucent/Orinoco silver cards and one or two Apple Airport cards.
ANy suggestions?
Bill
