Does the author cover these well? I will be ordering some testing equipment shortly and the prices I've seen so far are horrible... two to three thousad dollars... OUCH! And that's the low end!! <sheesh> So far, I've been using an old ThinkPad and a LinkSys WIC and WAP11. Since this AP is low power, I figure it it works marginally, then it should work perfectly once I add the LinkSys signal booster. So far, this has been working well for me in 7 locations. However, I have two more that are much bigger and I'm going to need directional antennas, to work within the 3 channel limit of 802.11b. Any suggestions in this are would be most appreciated!
