I want to increase my signal- my indicator still says 'good' even at the furthest point in the house but I'd like it to be better- I'd like not to have any drops in service whatsoever if I can help it...
I was looking at the various antennas that Linksys puts out themselves, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with something like this...

I used this antenna on my Linksys WAP54G also on my Linksys wireless cards D-Link
My signal is great 100% connection on my macs and pc's.

I got the Linksys booster and it works GREAT...it simply sits on top of your regular Linksys router -- you connect the two devices and it sure does boost the signal - it now gets to my bedroom, a good 50 feet away, and through three walls...

I'd like to be able to use my Airport Express as a signal booster, but it's only about 2 feet closer than where the laptop is most often used...
I couldn't see a huge difference, but I could be wrong about AX's capabilities...
RonAnn- I was looking at the high-gain antennae that you attach directly to the router where the current antennae are- do you know anything about those?

both the express and your computer would see the same week signal, so it should not boost anything
