Hi,

After reading a lot of tests and articles I decided to buy a linksys
wireless acces point (BEFW11S4) and a wirelsse PCMCIA card (WPC11).

The installation was done in about 15 minutes, as easy as could be.

Now I'm ancountering some problems ;

- The range inside the house isn't wath it should be ; I' only get signal
till aproximatly 10 metres away from the access point.

Questions ;
- Do I need to configure special items in the routers' setup ?
- Are there tools available to test the signal strength and the data
troughput ?
- Do I need to buy external antennas ?
- HAs anyone experiance with the "Linksys signal booster" ?

Thanks in advance for any tip that could help me.

(P.S. sorry fo my englisch ..)
