Extending the range of our wireless network

[Zucarita9000]

Hi!

I need to get a wireless repeater to extend the range of our wireless network. We're building new offices, and the building is L-shaped, so I need some sort of repeater in order the get wireless signal across the entire facility.

I was looking at the Linksys WAP200 acces point, as all our network equipment is Linksys. Or maybe the WAP200E

In addition to that, the new building will have to separate offices, each with it's own ethernet installation, so I need something to connect each of them wirelessly. The WET200 seems like a good choice.

You will get better stable resulys with the Buffalo line.

Can be used as an Access Point, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833162134

Client device, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833162168

Why? Coz they have High Power Radio, and their firmware is more stable.

However if you need POE, and wall mounting you would have to stay with the Linksys.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get Buffalo products in my country.

Careful about country, different countries have different frequencies/channels that you are allowed to use.

Would you kindly not interfere with the radar system of the US armed services.

Thank you. You WILL promptly comply.

When you're done the FCC and FAA would like to show you a small room. With no windows.

I was doing a search for this exact same topic, so I hope no one minds me bumping this thread.

I'm using a Netgear WGR614 wireless router and two floors down away from that router is another PC that's using the companion piece http://www.netgear.com/Product...essAdapters/WG121.aspx USB adapter.

^^ This second PC that's using this USB adapter is not getting very good performance at all. What can I do to help this situation along?
