My Apple and PC laptop have no problems roaming around my house and switching to the strongest signal.

The only problem I have had is trying to extend my network across my back fence to my neighbors. Directly behind my house is the houses of the founder, and the president of the company I work for. We tried to setup a wireless network we could all share.

The problem is that on my back property line is both above ground and below ground cables. Am told the cabling is from the early 80's and cheap without very good sheilding. It is like a wireless wall. In my back yard I can see all the wireless networks near my house on my side of the fence. Walk thru the gate and they all disappear and the wireless networks on the other side of the fence appear. Even tried wifi routers with 2 watt radios. Could get almost a block away on my side of the fence and still get good wifi, but cross the fence and it still disappeared.

Ended up with my wifi and setting up a wifi for them to share between their two houses.

Thought it was interesting that when I had that high powered wifi I approached my neighbors to use my wireless instead of paying for their own internet. Even showed them how fast it was on my laptop in their house. They were still using dial-up. Offered it for FREE! They were not interested and each got and pay for their own internet.
