Yep, removable. They are rated 6dbi though and aren't too shabby for factory.

I have a point to point bridge with some old Linksys WAP54g's that need replacing and would rather keep my existing external antenna's.

No GigE ports, but if you're just using it for an AP/gateway you shouldn't notice. Runs SSH out of the box and has an easy web GUI. Invictus is local to me but the owner is very knowledgeable. -- Mike Gill From: Jonathan [mailto:ncm...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 3:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OTish? - Building a home lab from scratch Alright ladies and gents, I'm looking for suggestions and pitfalls to avoid (aren't we all?). I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I'm probably one of the few tech heads out there that doesn't have a home lab setup, and I think it's about time that I change that. We've had numerous discussions on this list about home vmware setups and personal SANs etc, and I'd like to hear some suggestions on what I should start with, mistakes to avoid, etc. I'm on a budget - I don't have thousands to spend, but I've got to start somewhere. Here's what I've got right now that is potentially useable (I'm not set on using this stuff, but right now it is just collecting dust): * 3 or 4 old Dell Optiplex desktops (one MT form factor, and 2 desktop form factor) with P4 procs and a couple Gigs of RAM * Broadband Cable connection @ 10 Mbps * (my wireless router just recently died) * 2 free standing two post 7 foot racks (that I was thinking about tying together to make a 4 post rack) I'd like to focus on Windows Server 2003/2008 & Powershell. Exchange, Sharepoint, and SCCM are of particular interest, and so is vmware (I will probably want to play with Hyper-V, but don't have much need for it.) Ultimately, I'd like to include some Cisco as well, as I have a good (albeit basic) Cisco background with PIXes, ASAs, and Catalyst switches. Oh yeah, and Linux too... Finally, I'd also be interested in suggestions for how to [legally] obtain MS licensing on the cheap if that's possible - 120 day evals aren't really going to cut it. Action Pack? MSDN?
