The WRT54G antenna was removable, but the WRT54GC isn't, and I'm not sure
about the one with speed booster. Our network here is nuts, 3 people living
here with a desktop and laptop each, plus, I have my old laptop which I
still use for radio programs and what not at field day and special events
and helping people because the new laptop has vista and almost nothing I use
will run on that, and then I have a couple other beater computers around
here so my network gets a ton of use, my TiVo is on it too actually. I
really like the linksys routers, I have one in the house here and also one
in my laptop bag, that's the WRT54GC in my laptop bag which sure came in
handy on vacation.
