Re: best antenna 11db + diversity or 14db standard?
The WRT54G can only use one antenna at a time. So if you use a regular omnidirectional antenna on one antenna connection and a directional antenna on the other connection, only one of the antennas can work at any given time. So if you use your "local" antenna + directional antenna idea, think about how much traffic each antenna will have. If either your local or directional antenna will be in use quite a bit, I'd leave one antenna port unconnected and simply use the directional antenna. Buy an inexpensive access point for your "local" use. |

San Diego, CA | if you have dissimilar antennas, you will probably have poor performance. Most WiFi access points change antennas ONLY when the signal strength is less than X, rather than choosing the "best". |
