AirPort Extreme antenna

[Scott Howell]

You know I was just thinking and I read this in the manual, but can't  
put my hands on that item at the minute. I was wondering if  
connectivity issues could be based on the antenna in the unit itself.  
The Linksys like many routers have vertical antennas and I'm not sure  
exactly how the one is in the AirPort Extreme base station. I imagine  
they are all omnidirectional so that shouldn't' matter. I wonder if  
it would make any sense to hang the router so its not lying flat on  
the desk, but instead perpendicular to the desktop and if this would  
change its radiation pattern greatly; maybe improving transmission  
and reception.
Maybe I'm just nuts.

tnx
