That should be enough, since mine is 8dBi. :) If it's an omnidirectional
anntenna: I understand that you don't get good reception when the antenna
is placed on the third floor, and you're on the first floor directly
underneath the antenna. Since my antenna is located at the top floor of
my house, I just attached it horizontally to the ceiling. I don't know if
my understanding is correct, but hey, it works. :)

This is easily shown using ping, especially with the "-f" option.
