For example, a single-pint (theoretical) antenna would broadcast a perfect sphere. Typically there's some gain, and the more there is, the more the top and bottom of that sphere are shaved off and the sphere starts to look like a cylinder.
So, yeah, tilting your antenna on it's side will change where that cylinder goes. Sadly, you also change polarization a bit (things work best when the antennas are polarized the same). You can also put a reflector on the antenna (plenty of info online) or, if your router has removable antenna(s) you can get an aim-able antenna (panel/plate or parabolic - or even yagi, but I haven't seen an indoor one) and just, well, -aim- it at your target. Sounds like it's working, though, so why change things? 100 years old, eh? I guess you could pull ethernet cables through your voice-powered speaker-tube intercom system, or are you still using those? :) -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90640 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
