[OKDXA] quiet wireless routers?

[John Geiger]

Hi Bob,

I have a WRT54G, not sure if the S model makes a
difference.  Is yours close to your antenna?  Mine
isn't too far from the antenna, so that might make a
difference.  Someone from another list said the
Linksys will work good, but it is also a crapshoot. 
Some are RF quiet, while others of the same model are
noisy. I will try to exchange it for another of the
same model first, but will try something else if
necessary, and am prepared to just run a long wire to
the other room, which will be a little bit of work on
one end in the attic.
