+1, especially the Extreme, they're awesome! Even for Windows users!!

These are pretty decent, I have used them before to set up a mates 360 for Live, cant be bothered spending $100 on M$'s WiFi Adapter

1123047 2010-07-28 23:43:00 Remember to wall mount your router and point the aerial down, that way the radio waves go up & down, not out. :rolleyes: SP8's (9836)
1123048 2010-07-28 23:49:00 I use these at work....www.data-alliance.net

They are awesome!...they even power through the Ethernet switch, so I can move them around for the best location, but as they are so powerful, there is no need...Only about $160!

We have a 3 story house and get excellent wireless connections throughout.

wifi as good as cable, phfffft :banana :banana :banana

NO 2 multistory homes will be the same (they can be but u know what I mean)
some sites NEVER have reliable wifi
some wifi works perfectly where it just shouldnt (eg:with router in what is almost a faraday cage; eg: on the 3rd , 4th floor )

Moving aerials elsewhere in the room sometimes helps

If thats the case, you have to use the 2nd as a bridge to the 1st access point

1123052 2010-07-29 00:58:00 The GC model is crap, it's only 2MB. If you're going to do something like that you really want a device with 4MB Flash, to install most firmwares like Tomato / Gargoyle etc.

DD-WRT will work with it, but it's not as nice IMO....
