| Nice... I ordered a 5.5 as well and am waiting for it to get here... While my signal is pretty strong, every little bit helps... 
As for your Q, I would guess that there wouldn't be much benefit at all, since the bandwidth is limited by the adapters. You might be able to squeeze a few Kb here and there, but I doubt it would be anything noticeable. |

I tried a 5 dBi antenna on my DI-624 but it didn't make any difference to the signal strength. |

I replaced the stock antenna on my 824VUP with a 5.5 dB antenna from Radioshack ($10 for 2), I only got a 10% increase in signal, not as much as I hoped for, but it does look MUCH better than that wimpy gray stock antenna...and looks are after all very important:D |

Hey, 10% increase for me would bump my signal strength up to 70% according to the app I use to measure my signal... I'd be happy with that...
Best Buy has a Linksys 7 dbi antenna... wonder what that would do... I won't bother to find out though since it's like $50.

Hmmm what I have been thinking about:
Does the Logitech mouse/keyboard messes with the signal if its close to adapter card or router..
See one in your picture too I think

Jellen,
You've have a pair of good eyes.
It just a very common Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse.
I don't think the radio is 2.4ghz as I know.
Correction me if I am wrong...

Found the following on the dutch website for the mx700 (rf techonlogy in common): Technische feiten:
Frequentie: 27 MHz
It doesn't use the same frequency and I don't know much about that stuff.
But since i got my wireless d-link pci card I notice that my mouse gets stuck when the card scans or sends a lot of data.... It's weird
But maybe that only counts when its very close to it.
But because its next to your router thought you may have found some trouble with your mouse. If not don't bother be happy 
Greetings, Jellen

I have two MX700's, one MX1000 and one Logitech cordless (ball) mouse in my room, along with my router, and everything works in harmony |

Houston, TX | I have a bluetooth mouse that works in the 2.4 range.. how do I know this? because my freaking mouse goes crazy when the phone rings! It was a microsoft bt version. Luckily I don't have a home phone anymore so this isn't an issue. |

All bluetooth is operating at 2.4GHz as I know.
I don't understand what the Fu©k with the FCC
that put many Wireless standard to the already
busy 2.4GHz frequency.......

The FCC made that (and the 5GHz band) open and free to use without licenses. There are other terms for some of those free bands, like UNII or something to do with industrial/medical/scientific use, I forget at the moment.
Hence, companies want to build devices that use these free bands so they don't have to pay for costly usage licenses, and when many companies are building communciations devices, the IEEE wants to make sure there's a standard so devices using the protocol can talk to each other. The unfortunate side effect of this freedom is a proliferation of standards in the open bands. There is much more bandwidth available at 5GHz, so I'm hoping that's where we will move to soon. |

| There is no guarantee that bluetooth will cause
dramatic interference on any specific 802.11b/g network,
although it will result in significant noise.
In fact, DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
is much more susceptible to interference and
narrow band jamming than Bluetooth. using FHSS.
Bluetooth, or 802.15 uses FHSS - Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum, hopping over 1,600 times per second
over 83.5 MHZ in bandwidth, while DSSS focuses
on a single 22 MHZ bandwidth in that 83.5 MHZ ISM band,
coinciding with a given channel, such as 1, 6 or 11 in the
wireless router.
In the case of Super-G, there is a doubling
of that 22 mhz to 44 mhz or higher, due to channel
bonding. The ISM band, or Industrial, Scientific and
Medical band runs at 2.4 GhZ.
If you want to avoid Bluetooth altogether,
move to 802.11a, which is on the UNII band at
5 ghz ... Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure.
Or switch to Bluetooth's expected replacement, from the
Ultra Wideband Working Group. |
