FYI - the protocol that 802.11g uses ("extreme") has a smaller range than 802.11b, the previous basestation protocol. this can be seen as a disadvantage or advantage based upon your viewpoint. to me, i can see how this would be bad, but i also appreciate the modest security a smaller range gives you.
