Hi All,

I'm looking for a bit of advice to improve my wireless network performance. I have a Linksys WAG320N coupled with three WMP600N cards. Two out of the three behave fine - they only have 1 solid wall to go through, the third has three walls and is struggling - I'd like to run them on 5GHz for the additional bandwidth but the third loses reception completely when the frequency is changed from 2.4GHz to 5GHz.

I'm considering replacing the antenna on the back of the card with some higher gain (5 / 7dB rather than the standard 2dB) or getting two with extension cables so I can move it around a bit. This does feel a bit extreme after forking out ~£35 per card. However have had good service from my first card I thought I'd invest in two more.

The WAG320N is running on the latest firmware.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
