It mostly depends on how much gain you're adding. like the post you linked said.. the APs come with very crappy 2dbi antennas.. upgrading to 5dbi isn't too much of a problem because it is still a very wide signal. if you go up to 9dbi, you start to flatten out so that if you make both of the AP's antennas vertical, you may have floor to floor problems, but it won't be too bad. With a 15dbi omni (I've used for outdoor links) you're talking maybe 10 degree signal width along the antenna plane, but you can connect a mile away with a good directional dish. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29793 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
