Greetings (1st post), Quick opinion poll: Couple days ago I got restless, and impulse shopped (locally): SMC 7004AWBR (802.11b, 3-port switch, NAT/Firewall/etc): $99 w/rebate SMC 2632W (802.11b, Prism2 based card): $69 To my dismay, I can barely keep a signal with the AP on the backyard deck, with me 68ft away (line of sight) at the fire pit. (The whole point of this exercise) Furthermore, indoors, if I locate the AP with the other switch and cable modem, I get a weak signal at my usual workspace .. only 30' away (granted, several walls/doors in the path). FYI, I tested every possible permuation of channel/rate/etc, results based on rx/tx, mgmt data, ping. The 7004AWBR currently retails for $140 online, $180 locally, so $99 for 3-port 10/100 switch, built in print server, serial dial-on-demand, NAT, firewall .. seems like a decent price. The card is definately going back. But the router, the rebate purchase date has expired now, and I may have current/future use for it. What would you do? ;-) My plan is to shop more discriminately and avoid anything that doesn't accept an external antenna. -Jay
