	My parents have a ranch style house. If I put their Airport base station near the bedroom, there's no coverage in the family room. If I put the base station near the family room, there's no coverage in the bedroom. What's the best way to provide coverage for the entire house? Should I attach an external antenna to the base station or buy a second base station? With multiple base stations, I can either connect them via Ethernet, or set up a wireless distribution system. Has anyone tried using Airport's WDS feature? Are there any issues with it? Thanks.
