Trying to connect to an out of range WAP.
Any suggestion on an extended range wireless USB card that takes an external antenna.
Also wondering if it would be better to get a high-power range-extender that allows an external antenna
Any thoughts appreciated
Mark

How much boost do you need? Hawking makes a good USB adapter with a high-gain dish antenna.
John - Thanks for the Hawking recommend
I'd like to carry my LapT with me when I visit a neighbor a few houses away. Not sure of distance but it's more then ~7X the distance I get now w/ a no antenna pci card in the LT. Almost sure I'll need an extended range apdapter w/ external antenna.
But other idea is a range-extender with a directional antenna. Might work to point antenna before leaving house an use LT as it.
Unless you have clear line of sight, that probably won't work, even with a better antenna.
