Randy, PMJI, but > add the LinkSys signal booster In what manner do you add this device and how much of an improvement is it. I'm getting varying degrees of signal strength throughout the day (my Thinkpad is only 20 feet from the WAP and is almost direct line of sight) but the link quality remains good. BTW, even though my WAP "cloaks" the SSID, still my WinXPPro system indicates the signal is there. The 2Wire tech rep said that is because WinXPP has already discovered the signal and went on to say that any other laptop machine that had not already "discovered" the signal would not see it as available. I'm not sure if I believe that just yet but I'm still wary of the good it does to "cloak" the SSID if the signal still registers as an available Wi-Fi network for logging onto. Apparently the only security this router has going for it is the 128-bit encryption. The more I learn the more insecure I feel. > 3 channel limit of 802.11b Hmm. I've been able to assign both channel 6 and 11 at this point and it appears I may be able to assign the other 9. Why do you say there's a 3 channel limit?
