802.11b signal booster?

I remember reading somewhere in the hot deals forum about a signal booster for 802.11b accesspoints/routers. Is there such a thing? If so where do I get one? And how does it work?
 
now for the standard response:

Increasing the output of your wireless equipment is illegal.
Messing with the FCC to get a few extra feet is not a trade-off I would like to experience.


On the other hand =)
You can buy antennaes and such to help out.

try www.wirelesscentral.net

 
For bridging Point to Point and Point to Multipoint you can go 1 Watt (30dBm) to the antenna and 4 Watt 36 (dBm) out of the antenna. The FCC regs don't address AP's that much. Not reason to amp an AP really. You can get the signal boost you need with aftermarket antennas, both omni and directional if that's what you want. Keep your coax runs and pigtails as short as you can to diminish signal loss and get like a 7-9 dBi omni to extend your cell coverage.
