Hi..im interested in the wireless linksys router 802.11b but i have range
concerns. I live in a 2 story colonial house. My main pc is upstairs on the
top floor. I will have that pc hard wired into the router which will sit on
my desk. Now, I want to be able to use my laptop in my basement wirelessly,
which is 2 floors down. Will this be a problem? I know it can go through
walls but will 2 floors be an issue? If so, is there anything i can do to
boost the range?
If anyone has a similar setup or if you have advice, i would appreciate the
feedback. Most places charge a restocking fee if you return things, and i
think thats outrageous.

It works great for me. From the basement to my 2nd floor the Signal Strength meter goes
from Excellent to Very Good.
