"Unleash the power of 802.11b. Get an Amateur Radio Technician License with a straight forward written test from the "technician" question pool. There is no Morse code required to work 802.11b under the FCC Amateur Radio rules. Then run up to 100 watts LEGALLY on your AP using any antenna you would prefer. "
