let me preface by saying that i have the smc wireless router and like it, but it is my understanding that the linksys new firmware upgrade allows it to act like a bridge between wireless networks just in case you wanted to share bb connection also the antenna might be detachable unlike the smc allowing for a high gain one to be attached? you need to check to see if this is true and second if it might be of interest to you to allow for extension beyond your home.
