That should have read, I would NOT go over 8db
"johnhh" wrote in message ... Unless you know where the access point is located and want to fiddle with aiming it, go with an omnidirectional one. I would go over an 8db gain. I use a 6 db gain and it works fine. They are getting to be very widely available. I know CompUSA sells both interior and exterior ones. wrote in message oups.com... I am looking to set up a laptop on a boat that will receive wifi signals. I need to install a twenty foot cable from the antenna to a cable connector which attaches Proxim orinoco 8011b/g gold wireless card. I think I have found the cable but don't know what antenna to attach to it as I want to minimize loss of signal and I believe I have to get a certain length antenna to synchronize with the cable length to do this. Does anyone know what the right size antenna should be? Also, any suggestions on where to pick one up? I found the cable here http://sharperconcepts.zoovy.com/pro...C-CA-RSPNMAXXX |
