Updating the firmware on my SMC2404 improved it quite a bit.

I just got the Dell Truemobile one (came free with my purchase)

Two stories up I am getting about a 50 percent link , still fast and good but any ideas to boost it?

**gornyhuy** · 11-07-2003, 01:16 PM

standard linksys 802.11b router
model is:
BEFW11S4

any specific antenna links for that kind of setup?

cant help you with boosting yours, however, i could tell that I have the Linksys 2.4GHz and its awesome. The router is in my basement and with my Laptop (toshiba built in wirless card) I can connect from my bedroom(3 floors up) and in the summer I work off my backyard deck. I never lose any connection speed, the thing work as my internet connection and a small home network. Its great!
