    i have order a s96j with the intel wireless card .
    now the question is everybrand has things like signal booster and stuff are they all compatible with my wireless card or do i need special express cards to recieve the extra strong signal .

    are popular brands (like linksys) really beter than cheaper and less know brand?
    what brand and product number would you suggest. i need a wireless accespoint with a build in 4port switch .and if possible for a low price the chanche to connect my usb printer(epson r300) to the network.

    Don't buy signal boosters. Buy better antennas. You want RP-TNC antennas like the ones this guy sells. Works on my Linksys WRT54GL. I haven't done any extensive testing of them though.
