I think both of you make very good points. Before I stick my foot in my mouth again, I am going to do some experiments to see how amplification on either end affects data rate, range, etc.

A few questions:

Would you say that an amplifer does not increase the receive sensitivity of the amplified device?

If you have an AP with 100mw of power and you add a 12dBi antenna with no amplifier, will that increase the overall range even if the client cards are not changed?

I have some strong ideas on the answers to these questions, but I want to get answers from the experts before I share a few stories. :)
