Both 802.11b and 802.11g use the same frequency band of 2.4 Ghz, unlike 802.11a which uses 5Ghz band. So, two antennae, one for b & second one for g really do not make sense... A little bit of googling revealed that both antennae are used to counter effects of multipath propogation _> http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008019f646.shtml#multipath In any case, the two antennae are not meant to increase the range, and I think keeping one horizontal and second vertical will not boost reception. -Devendra Laulkar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
