*Anything* which actually delivers on a claim of greater signal range would be
welcome in my house.

I live in a 19th-century wood-frame house and am typing this via wi-fi "G"
upstairs and 2 rooms over from the access point (maybe 30 feet distance, with
nothing but furniture and wooden timbers between).  The signal cuts in and
out, sometimes I have to move the PC over to the dining room to get back in
range.

I started out with a "B" access point and it was the same.  I tried one of
those signal-enhancing antennas (still plugged into the access point) and it
didn't help either.

The signal should be 2 to 4 times stronger to work in a real-world suburban
house.  These things seem to be built for cubicled office areas or downtown
condos.

Would love to hear if "SRX" solves anyone's problem, junking my old wi-fi gear
is something I like to do every 24 months or so.  But so far it's an itch that
resists healing after each scratching session.

Will now hit "send" and hope this gets submitted...;-)
