No experience at all on wireless NIC's... but I have some experience mounting GSM (mobile phone network), and I can tell you that being below the maximun distance between antennas, the most important (almost the only) thing to worry about is having direct line of sight from one antenna to the other.
Anyway, if possible I would buy/make a very directive antenna in both ends (or at least in one of them) and point one to the other instead of the omni as you would dramatically increase power and quality signals (increasing range/possible speed) and for sure you still be covering more neighbourhood that strictly your house. Good luck. El vie, 16-08-2002 a las 22:59, Dodd, David J escribió: > > I have a linksys access point and it has good transmission but if you > want to measure it use wavmon.
