Another possibility is to use Ethernet connected portable access points, such as the Asus WL-330Ge or D-Link DAP-1350. These devices can act as Ethernet connected WiFi adapters and can be placed where convenient for best signal
Are these different than what I see called a "range extender"? Like the LinkSys RE1000?
They are multifunction devices which include a WiFi adapter for Ethernet mode. The Asus includes a repeater mode, but I don't think the D-Link does. In your case, you'd configure for the WiFi adapter mode and connect to your computer with an Ethernet cable. Also, these require less from the CPU than a USB device. Both of these can be USB or wall wart powered and can be placed wherever you can reach with a cable. The D-Link can do 802.11n, but the Asus is 802.11g. However, there is a later model Asus that also does N.
OK, thanks. I'll spend a few dollars in the hope this takes care of my problem. Regards Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
