extending wireless rangeI have a MS MN-700 router. The wireless range is inadequate. Does the antenna
on the router come off(seems permanently attached) to allow a stronger antenna to be attached (Radio Shack sells these)? If not, what ideas are there to extend the range? The best Method to Extend Wireless Coverage depends heavily on the Specific
Environment. Look at these pages, they describe most of the options that are within the means of Entry Level users, and choose the one that fits you environment best. Extending the Distance of Entry Level Wireless - http://www.ezlan.net/Distance.html Wirelessly Bridging Home / Network - http://www.ezlan.net/bridging.html Hi Gain Antenna for Entry Level Wireless - http://www.ezlan.net/antennae.html In general, the best Method involves using multiple units connected with wire to the source. Or using WDS ( Wireless Network, Configuration Modes - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html ). Wire connected Access Point (or a second Wireless Router configured as an Access Point) is better since WDS cuts the "Speed" into half past the repeating unit. Jack (MVP-Networking).

least try a $10 improved antenna as a potential solution?

If you can not easily unscrew it is not coming off. Jack (MVP-Networking).
