Linksys and Belkin

Hello all

Can someone tell me if I can use a linksys WAP in repeater mode with a
wireless high speed Belkin ADSL Modem/Router 802.11g?

I need to use a WAP that will enable me to attach a high gain antenna
to it which will be mounted outside on my office wall. The WAP device
will be in my office. From what I can tell you cannot remove the Belkin
antenna on their WAP just like with their router!

Also another question, will the high gain antenna on my WAP increase
the weak signal that reaches to my office door and boost it for the
devices that will be cabled into the WAP device in the office?

I was thinking of building a can antenna, any others that would do the
job?

TIA

Sorry I will rephrase this. I have just found an external WAP device
that linksys do which I can connect using a single CAT5 cable to a
switch that will be in my office, this will also provide the power. So
back to my question does anyone know if the two makes will work
together ok?

TIA

In general, if it has the same manufacturers chipset, then they will
work together. You didn't bother supplying the model numbers (and
hardware versions) so I can't look up the chipsets. If you can't find
the chipsets used, then try using the FCC ID number and look at the
photos on the FCC ID web site.
