Get 5 Times the Range from your AirPort Base Station

Apple AirPort Base Station users can now get five times the wireless performance. QuickerTek announced an upgrade to Apple AirPort Base Stations that will provide up to five times the wireless range at full signal strength than the stock Base Station.

This new Base Station upgrade offers 500 miiliwatts (27dBm) of RF (wireless) power. Compared to less than 50 milliwatts of RF power found in most Base Stations, this upgrade makes a huge difference in not only your ability to sit further away from the Base Station, but also in retaining a strong and full-speed signal. No changes in setup or working with the upgraded Base Station are necessary. You simply turn on the power and instantly you can distance your computer from the Base Station.

There are two upgrade options: either send your Base Station to QuickerTek for the upgrade ($200) or buy one already upgraded from QuickerTek ($350). [Bill Fox]
