I know the cisco aironets have wireless booster antennas, don't know if they
work with the SMC AP but they might.  You may want to look into these.

Subject: OT: Boosting Wireless LAN Signal



Yes, I know this is off-topic but I cannot find any information on this
anywhere and I'm hoping someone here has dealt with this issue.

I have an SMC Wireless Access Point (802.11b) connected to a hub in my
basement.  It functions as a dumb bridge, allowing my wireless laptops to
connect to my physical LAN.  The problem is that the wireless coverage in
portions of my home is spotty.

Is there anything that can be done, short of physcially moving my Access
Point (it must remain in proximity to the hub), to increase or boost the
coverage?  Can the antenna be replaced somehow with something better?  Can
the antenna be remotely located from the Access Point through some kind of
long antenna wire?  Can the signal be boosted somehow?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

TIA!
