Here is the scenario:
1. We have a network connection outside the company firewall at work.
2. The router (linksys) is in a central location, but somehow it doesn't have a very strong signal when you get on other other side of a partition or behind the glass door of our break room.
3. You can connect via iphone to it with quite a bit of latency even though the signal shows ok while in the break room or behind the partition, you can connect via netbook and laptop too with same results.
4. You can NOT connect to it via Sony PSP unless you walk closer to the router.
So I thought maybe I'd pick up an Airport Express N and walk over to plug it into the linksys when I want to go to lunch and connect my devices to it. The N router should provide a longer range would it not? Do you think it would solve my issues with it in the breakroom or behind the cubical partitions about 75 feet away?
On a side note I also plan to use the express in hotel rooms that don't have wireless to connect my ipad.
