    wifi antennas?

    Not being rude or anything by posting links; however, antennas are more than a wire in a piece of covering.
    You got propagation, transmit/receive gain, standing waves, etc. to consider in the proper implementation. It is, actually, more important on low power output/receive circuits/chipsets.

    Here are a few informative sites for info on antennas:

    Understanding Antenna Specifications and Operation

    Introduction to Wi-Fi Wireless Antennas

    The Fundamentals of Wi-Fi Antennas

    Understanding 802.11 Antennas

    If you do a search for Understanding wifi antenna design you will see lots of info on the subject.

    wifi antennas?

    Maybe even make his own, just need to do the research on it and there is plenty of information on this. I was looking in to directional ones were you have to get the plates the right size and all.

    I tend to stick a heat sink to all i have as they all get hot and what harm will it do anyways.

    And why no picture of this in the Ghetto thread, shame on you!, and shame on me if i missed or forgot about it ha.

    powerful wifi antenna

    has anyone used a powerful wifi antenna to increase the signal strength of their wifi? i am not talkoing about using a WAP to bridge my wifi signal, but an actually high powered antenna to boost the signal in all directions. and i am not looking into flashing my router with firmware to increase the power of my existing router. i am specifically looking for high powered antennas. any experiences i should know about? any models i should look into?
