A "range extender" or "repeater" will cut the speed in half.


Hi David,

Interesting this speed difference. I'm worried about RANGE and all of
a sudden other factors come into play! Thank you for enlightening me.
I know more now than I ever did from you wonderful guys!

As I noted to someone else just now, I DID try to find the "Linksys
Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G" WiFi repeater in the local stores
but they did not exist in any of the three stores I checked.

Also, some of the articles talk about an "access point"
(http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials...e.php/1571601).


Can someone tell me what part of my setup I would call the "access point"?


The wireless part.
