[Pc_Support] 802.11b vs g - signal distance & strength

[Damien McKenna]

OK, my router's control interface specifically says 11b and 11g, which 
is good to know.  It has an option for an "extended range" feature which 
is currently enabled and I'm getting a link quality of 40-55% and a 
signal strength of 55%.

So what do you guys think of my chances of boosting the connection if I 
upgraded to an 11g NIC?

Also, have any of you tried wpa_supplicant?  
(http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/)  Its a n OSS WPA/WPA2 daemon 
that runs on Linux, BSD and Windows.  Looks interesting, I think I'll 
give it a try myself.
