Linksys Router and a Powerbook

[mdt562]

k, well heres the deal. Well all know the wi-fi range on the powerbooks isnt the greatest but, I want to know if i can use a Linksys router to connect to a wifi connection and extend it too my powerbook. I did some research and found out something about "WDS" i think i can pull it off but. I need you guys to recommend me a router

Heres some i found,

I'd imagine that both of those would work fine, but, honestly, the range of my AirPort Expresses and, before them, my Linksys WRT54G are/were just fine with my 12" PB, so I'm sure that the extended-range Linksys products would well fine, too. But are you sure you need more than a normal WiFi device?

My 12" PB gets a wireless reception just fine as well.

my wireless connection is decent, but im still on a wireless B. When i travel my wifi connections drops in and out. So im looking for a new router for the house and one i can use on the road as a WDS extender or whatever the term is. I have all the nescessary connections in the car to make it possible but im just looking for the right router.

i found an other router that looks promising. its a Belkin product, never used them before

If you're planning on using it while traveling, the AirPort Express is small and works well and can even use the PB's extension cord for the power brick.
