Thanks Mike. Given that its not 90 degrees ;-), I figure I'll probably add on an omni-directional antenna - the homes it this area are spread over about 200 degrees with only a couple of places out side of this. What I really would like for this access point is about a 3-4 km range; more would be nice but not an absolute must.
