RE: [BAWUG] WAP11 Antenna Compatability

[Enrique LaRoche]

I have used the WAP 11 with several different antennas (proof of concept etc. ) I now am using one with a Maxrad 8dbi omni. Works well. One Caviat The WAP11 doesn't start out with much power so use good cable and connectors or there wont be anything to play with. I have also done some point to point links in bridge mode and in AP mode. Personally i did one 1500 meter AP mode using a 14db Yagi siimilarly with an 8dbipatch. All rather loosly setup and I was satisfied when I got 60-80% signal strength using the WUSB-11 adapter.  Enrique -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gus Welter Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 8:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] WAP11 Antenna Compatability Hey everybody,   I�m new to this list. I was researching the problem that Hyperlink Tech claims Linksys has with external antennas and came across a thread back in November 2001. A couple people said they were about to use antennas with the WAP11 and would report on it later, but I looked ahead several months and didn�t see anything else about it (I might have missed it though).   I own Waco Home Networks in Waco, Texas, and we do a lot of wireless home network installations. We�ve been using Linksys AP�s because they�re inexpensive and have worked well thus far. We�re about to put a WLAN in a fairly large, multi-story house, and we want to use WAP11�s with antennas.   Can anyone report on experience with using external antennas with WAP11�s? Have any recommendations?   If not, is there a similarly priced ($130 or so retail) AP that works better?   Thanks!   -Gus   Gus Welter [EMAIL PROTECTED] c| (254) 715-2964   Persnickety Tim's Coffee http://www.ptims.com p| (254) 836-4599 f | (254) 836-9203   For great coffee and coffee gifts, go to Persnickety Tim's Coffee!
