Paul,
The Netgear base stations are quite variable in performance. Most of
the troubles I see with wireless systems at my contract client have
come down to one of these base stations. The Netgear Maxrange seem to
do a lot better.
I have an older Apple Airport base station ("snow" version prior to
802.11g). With the same late-model PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz, I'm able to
get a clean signal 150' away at the pool behind my apartment
building... !
