Happy New Year to all! I have had an Airport network in my home for 3 years now and an happy to a point. I believe I need more range than before due to possible undetermined interference in the neighborhood, or else performance of the base station, which has been replaced once already under warranty. I just don't get the reception I used to.
I bought a new 12 inch PB for my wife and I continue to use an iBook, one of two in the house, plus an iMac is also on the network along with a WET 11 bridge for a network printer and original iMac. Everything in the house is wired in to the network. The PB needs more signal, however. Now that I have an Extreme card in the PB, should I consider installing an Extreme base station? Would I pick up range from the same emplacement in the house? What about a WDS using the original base station? Apple says this is not possible - is there a hack? Suggestions? I hate to think I need to spend $400 for two base stations to blanket the house with the best signal strength...but what else can I do? What about two Linksys WAP 11? Will they work under an all Mac environment? Any administrative issues? Geoff -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
