you should do a 11b instead of g because their is no g booster, if booster is need it knocks g to b and the other company do not sell booster so say with linksys

how many squar feet house? single or more stories? how many floors or walls will signal pass threw, this are all factors, desktops? laptops?
i would go for

1)etherFast Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router w/ 4-Port Switch
2)WSB24 Wireless Signal Booster, 802.11b

Actually, there ARE G boosters. The only problem is that for some reason, they are not FCC passed. And the real secret is that B boosters are ALSO G boosters.

For example, although the WSB24 is only FCC certified to work with WAP11 and WRT11, it actually works with WRT54G (I am using it at home, full 54mbps speed, almost full signal strength). The only problem is that it is not "FCC certified". For non-americans, I suppose this is fine, but for americans, I think it's against some federal law (though I doubt they'll come to your house to check every few days).
