recompiler1 · 05-11-2003

Can someoen that has the linksys ap booster please post a data chart of just a linksys wap11 runing, and then wap11 with booster attached from about 30 feet. Also any positive or negative feedback from owners?

The booster works fine, although it's top output is only 24dB (250mW.) That is 9dB above the WAP11v1.1 (15db or 32mW), but only 4dB above the v2.2 (20dB or 100mW.) Like a lot of things, it depends on the application and your needs.

I am not a big fan of amps, unless they are absolutely required. Most of the time you're better off to use higher gain antennae.

I use WAP11s version1. My goal is to have better signal, and add a block to my range.
