Re: Recommend on long range 802.11g router & booster?
A little simple explanation, antenna do not "boost" your power, they focus it. Like the reflector on a flashlight lets you turn a puny bulb into something that lights a wall well instead of the air around it. When people talk about "gain" of an antenna, what this translates to is how well it focus the available power. Usually the higher the gain, the less of an angle of area it will cover. A 24 dBi parabolic dish is great but it's beam may only cover a 30 degree arc, so something with more moderate gain but greater beamwidth is usually the thing you want for in-building coverage.
Here's some products to look at:
