I am looking for a wireless ADSL Router, Firewall, etc. However I am looking
for one with a good range, at least 10 metres through a couple of walls. I
am looking at connecting to it via a notebook which has an internal g
wireless cad. I have seen quite a few but there is very little information
on range. Can anyone recommend a brand and model that they use, which has a
good range?

TIA

My 3Com 3CRWDR100A-72 does the job happily to a couple of IBM R52
laptops running their internal wireless cards. Full speed is available
everywhere inside the house - up to 10m away and 3 walls in between.

However they won't take a different antenna, so you don't have any
option to use a higher gain antenna if you want more coverage.

Get one which incorporates MIMO

I've got this one

and find it very good. I can connect to it from outside the opposite end
of the house, at least 30 metres away.

If I was buying now I'd probably get something like this though

I got this one http://pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=MODDYN1025W at $169

It is in an office about 100m from where I am parked and I get good signal and
performance from it. Like many others its main draw back is the inability to
change the antenna on it since the stud dipole is fixed. I am in a Motorhome
using a Dlink AP as a client and using the standard Dipole Stub, there is a big
leafy tree between me and the AP along with several timber walls.
