Wireless range expander

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Hi,

Unfortunately there isn't any external antenna/signal booster available that
can be added on to the Wireless Base Station to improve the signal strength.
You can however purchase an additional Access point and run a ethernet cable
to it from your old MN-700 to provide additional areas of your workspace
with wireless coverage.

No, the Microsoft devices do not support WDS. Since they've discontinued
the products, they're what they are at the current time.
