I'm sure they would be fine for browsing the internet, but watching video's will cause you get caught in constant buffering modes or get dropped connections and then have to re-authenticate to your network.  If you are wanting to increase your coverage in your home network, their AMP's and Antenna's are great (but expensive) and you can connect them to any access point that has removable antenna's.  That is, provided you buy the correct cable connectors for your access point. We used to use Luxul and Renasis AMP's for WiFi installations in hotels, when I used to work for LodgeNet StayOnline (<a href="http://www.stayonline.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stayonline.net/</a>).  If you have a spare AP or Bridge that you wanna put in there, you will definitely see a difference.  If not then you'll probably get really bad signal cross talk.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2008 11:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Luxul's Pro-WAV 100 booster promises to whip your home WiFi into shape]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/luxuls-pro-wav-100-booster-promises-to-whip-your-home-wifi-into/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/luxuls-pro-wav-100-booster-promises-to-whip-your-home-wifi-into/</guid><description><![CDATA[Haha, I'm running IT for a conference in a hotel that has Lodgenet.

Aren't all signals subject to interference?

Can this thing still give me a promised 400% or more as promised?  Then again if I had that much RF bombardment I think WiFi range is the least of my problems.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[linuxamp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 3rd 2008 11:54PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
