I've attempted to install 802.11b in my home. I have a conventionally built recent home (i.e., now wire in the walls), and I have been unable to get two different manufacturer's systems to penetrate a distance of 40 feet that required going through one wall and one floor. I had similar results at my son's apartment. I had to return both sets of base and receiver units (D-link and Linksys). I am surprised, given my experience, that more hasn't been written about the practical problem of installation in anything except line-of-sight scenarios. Please comment.

  You could have replied more politely... The Editors should take note of such postings... One should be careful on how to express their feelings on public forums...
  
  Anyways here is a link to explain the differences:
