One of the most critical components of any wireless setup is cabling and connectors. Use cheap connectors and coax and you'll seriously limit the range and quality of your network.
Cabling and connector cost often exceeds the cost of antennas and other equipment. Use N connectors and double shielded cable everywhere. Normally LMR cable. I like to use LMR 240 for cable runs 3 feet or less. LMR 400 or larger for anything longer. Better yet, mount the equipment with the antenna and use the short cables and that will minimize the cable loss.
