The picture of the high gain antenna that you suggest show the antenna
on a pedestal, held down with a nut. Do I remove the nut and fasten
antenna onto the post of the WAP w/ its antenna removed or is there
some connecting hardware not shown?
The Antenna is on pedestal with a short cable, maybe 24". You can get
longer cables, but as I understand it, the longer the cable the more
signal loss, but don't quote me on that. My knowledge of radio antennas
is all experimental. The antenna can be mounted to the wall using
screws, but I always just set it next to the WAP or on top of the
computer. If you want something attached I know that a number of people
make screw on replacement antennas but it all depends the card/WAP you
are using and the antenna connection. Personally the screw on types
never seem to work that well behind the computer. I always had better
luck when they were above the case. On the WAP, they seem to work OK.
I am told that you can get antenna cable that will run 50 feet without
totally destroying the signal strength. But cable that good will cost
as much as the router.
