Thanks for the information. I ordered a RangeLan-DS 8434-05 (for $42 from overstock.com), and should hopefully receive it soon. Now I am wondering if anyone can reccommend a good, cheap (<$50) omnidirectional antenna. Doesn't need to be great, but I would like to get better range than I have now.
Thank you very much,
David Levitan
