Grrrrr......I give up - how do I post a long web address in XanaNews?
I had this happen once before, but have forgotten the answer.
Anyway, forget the link, the piece of hardware I was looking at on Ebay
is a 1 Watt indoor amplifier with the following spec.
Description:
WLAN-2300-1W is an indoor solution 1W bi-direction Booster
designed for 2.4GHz wireless LANs. This unit comes with an easy
plug-and-play installation, which works together with an indoor
Wireless Access Point to improve its operation range and performance.
In certain conditions the unit is able to double the range of the
wireless device. The unit extends signal range and can eliminate the
use of an additional radio with its associated data line, power outlet,
signal interference, and setup headaches.
The unit is the fast and easy way to extend your signal range in
any environment. The unit is ideal for use with 2.4 GHz frequency
hopping or direct sequence spread spectrum radio modems and 11 mbps
IEEE802.11b devices.
The amplifiers increase range by providing transmit gain as well
as low-noise receive gain. This receive gain increase the receive
sensitivity of wireless LAN Access poing. Full output power of 500mW is
achieved with only 5 mW input into the Booster.

o TX input power : 10 dB Nominal (Spec. by customer) & Max
100mW, Min 6mW
o Receiver gain : 14dB typical
o Noise figure : 3.5 dB typical
o Connectors : SMA receptacle (50 ohm)
o Lightning protection : Direct DC ground at antenna connector
o DC surge protection : at 5 BDC input from transmission cable
o Power consumption : 6V DV Max.current<1A, 90-264V for AC
adapter
o Dimensions (cm) : 7.8 cm (L) x 5.6cm (W) x 2.9cm (H)
o Operating temperature : Bi directional booster: -20°C to
+70°C 5V & DC injector: °C to +70°C
o Humidity : Bi-directional booster : up to 95% relative
humidity
o Distance : Up to 1500M (5000ft) depends on environment
o Material : Die Casting Aluminum
o Safety Certification : FCC/CE/VCCI.
What do you recon about these?
Cheers
Rob
