I'm looking for an inexpensive way to extend the range of 802.11b. I know
most Linksys routers have removable antennas and was wondering if I could
remove their omni antennas and connect a piece of coax to a patch antenna to
each of the connectors on the router. I would like to point these antennas
about 180 degrees apart.
I think I know a little about how diversity works. I understand the antenna
with the strongest signal at the time will be the active one for a
particular client. It seems to me the scenario above would work, any
comments?
Another option I'm thinking about is an Orinoco AP-1000 (I have heard a
system I use has that installed). It also appears that is a discontinued
product, is there a better replacement? I really don't need the dual channel
capability of the AP-1000.
