Recomemdations for a Access Point

I'm looking for a Access Point to use in a nearby building off of a existing wireless router. My needs/wish list is as follows;

1. Removeable antenna(s),
2. At least a 'G' or possibly a 'N' depending on price,
3. Metal case would be a plus,
4. Wall mountable,
5. Cost under $70,
6. Speed holding up under weaker signal conditions (as much as possible),
7. Decent support and user friendly config. menu.

Questions;

A. Are diversty (dual) antennas really better?
B. Is the price difference between 'G' and 'N' type AP's worth the price difference?

What I didn't like was those Linksys blue and black routers and AP's that have a dozen different variations and version numbers that only confuses which one to get.

 

Hi videobruce,

I use a d-link DIR 615 wireless router and its been very dependable.

The d-link DWL-2100AP High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps Access Point has some good reviews at amazon and other sites.

Tigerdirect is selling it for $65.00

Elsewhere it was suggested to go with a Linksys WRT54GL. I took a look at the manual and I didn't see where it allows one to 'look' for available AP's.
The only experiance with wireless is my current DSL modem/router and a wireless NIC in a Laptop. The NIC's software or using Windows GUI allows one to bring up a list of AP's to choose from. I saw no way of doing so with this AP. What am I missing?
