The new WAP54G's surely do have detachable antennas (in fact, Radio Shack sells Linksys add-on antennas for $39.95 that plug right into the WAP). Go to a radio shack and check out the connectors (See if they let you open the box in the store - sometimes they will go for it!)
For the Linksys APs, you would need to attach a pigtail or jumper cable with either a RP-SMA or RP-TNC connector on one end. And an N-connector to match your cantenna connector on the other. By the way RP-TNC is slightly larger in diameter than the RP-SMA. Here's a nice picture set on cable connectors to help you identify which connector is on your Wireless AP: http://wireless.gumph.org/content/3/7/011-cable-connectors.html -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chicago D Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 4:03 PM To: SOCALWUG Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: Wi-Fi Toys --- please bear with me The good folks at Linksys inform me that the Linksys WAP11 has been discontinued. They say that this is due to wireless-g being the standard as opposed to wireless-b. Of course, the new WAP54G does not allow for any pigtail attachments. for the project which involves an access point to a high gain antenna via a cable, should I worry about any of this? or should I just find a Linksys WAP11 and be on my way? thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
