I was wanting to install a WAP in the last downstairs office of the
building and then put wireless upstairs. There is a switch in that last
office. The rooms upstairs I want wireless in are down the hall about
100 feet, then up about 20 ft or so.

What are the chance this will work? I was looking at the follwing WAP
at Newegg.

LINKSYS WAP55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point
Model #: WAP55AG

Do I need some sort of signal extender or booster?

Any advice is appreciated!

There are a lot on variables involved in Calculating distances in a wireless
connection.........building materials,electronic interference etc etc.
The worst that can happen is you cannot connect because of the
distance.........connect with a laptop and start walking.....then you'll
need a signal extender.
