Howdy, Higher power may not be the right answer. I helped run the wireless network for a large conference. The network expert who was in charge explained that higher power sometimes causes worse performance. The company who had been hired to setup our network had brought in high powere access points and the performance was terrible. Our guy turned down the power and changed some of the channels and drastically improved our network. But, maybe you need high power. One good nic is like the one on this ebay auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250568544838 I don't know that seller, and I am only suggesting you look at the nic he offers. When I want an access point, I take an embedded computer like a soekris box and add a mini-pci nic and run openwrt. You can build a setup like this for about $100, even with a high power nic. Some people want more of a canned solution, but I like better capability and security. Good luck, Ralph
