[TriLUG] linksys wrtg54g range problems

[Rick DeNatale]

I've had just the opposite experience, the wrt54g seems to do better
than my old WAP 11 which died after a couple of years.

The old WAP11 used to be in the center of my attic, and I could get a
pretty good signal in most of the house, except in my bonus room,
which was closer than most of the other rooms in the house.  After it
died, I decided to move the WRT54G to a second floor room at the
northeast corner of the house where it would be cooler, and I now get
a great signal both in the bonus room which is at the northwest
corner, as well as in the first floor master bedroom which is in the
southwest corner.
