Hmmm. Thanks for the replies. Let's see here...

I'm concluding that this router may or may not work out of the box (?!). Obviously, if it does then all is well and that's the end of the story.

If it does not, then I could "fiddle" with the included antennas (select one or both, and adjust their positioning) and this may help? Or I could purchase 2 aftermarket antennas and use them in place of the included ones. Or I could tweak the power settings and up the ante so to speak.

I realize that each scenario is its' own unique situation, but could I ask if generally speaking this router typically (usually) works well in installations such as described or is it really spotty and a bit of pain?

I saw these two models: WRT54GX2 and also WRT54GX4 from this review site http://www.consumersearch.com/www/co...ers/index.html and I'm wondering if either of these may be more of a "sure thing"?
