The WAP11 and WRT54G both use rp-tnc, not SMA.
As a general rule of thumb, if you divide the additional gain by the path loss coefficient, you'll have the
additional range in dB.
Thus, (15 - 2.2)/2.0 = 6.4dB, or a bit under 4.4X the range, which, if you're barely connecting at 100', won't quite
get you to 500'. Moreover, since a path-loss coefficient of 2.0 is pure LOS, you should probably think about
modeling with a path-loss coefficient of 3.0 or more, and in this case (as well as with the 8dBi omni), you probably
won't make the link.

Can someone make a suggestion of a place to buy pannel antennas as well as what I believe are SMA Pigtails (the ones used on Linksys WAP11 as well as the newer WRT54G's.
I just purchased about 6 WRT54G's for home use and have been overly loving them. Just thought I'd extend my range more than just hopping accross the street. I think some 15dbi or so pannels should do more than enough (based on the fact that the included antennas can get 100 feet just fine). Trying to get about 500 feet range. Maybe my 8dbi omni's could even do it.
Also, can anyone point me to the skematics for PoE as well as any suggestions on casing for putting hardware on a roof?
