Looking at the pics on boomer's original link : »osiris.urbanna.net/antenna_desig···emplate/ using these should make the beam more directional. The canted one is pointing close to directly (by eyeball gauge)at the downstairs room I needed better coverage in. I haven't tried the only other room I really use the notebook in (upstairs bedroom) yet, but it's in the same general direction anyway so I think it will be OK.
Yeah Rygel, the lunchbox is one of the many Pooh items my wife has collected over the years. Makes her happy
When I told her how much money I saved by not having to buy commercial antennas, she figured she could live with them as long as they stay in that spare room! -- Try Team Starfire or Team Discovery orTeam Helix
If you put enough pooh stickers on your AP and reflectors it might become acceptable anywhere you want it -- This information is free, keep that in mind
