linksys wusb11 version 2.5 (they're selling 2.6 in stores) has a connector inside the case. also: I'd never used a soldering iron before and I had no trouble hacking on a connection... IE: if you have a wap11 with an external omni, you most likely have the second antenna connection turned off. You can harvest a short pigtail with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers if you open the wap. from there, you just strip back the cable a little bit (very little bit) and solder the connections down on your wusb11. you'll want to secure the cable somehow so your antenna isn't held on by the solder alone... I put mine in a box I bought at home depot (grey outdoor electrical box, $3) and attached the extra wap11 rubber ducky to it. it works pretty well. and with some glue it is water proof and mounts nicely on a deck. this rig works real well for folks who live near your AP but have their desktop in the basement. problem is: monitoring and control. with a usb connection the customer has total control. if things go wrong for a moment, they tend to start changing stuff. this also grays the area where your responsibility ends...
also: if they turn off their PC you think their link went down. this is why a PoE wet11 in a weatherproof box is better. a bit more pricey, but this way you have a link they can't tamper with and they can cycle power by just pulling the plug and reconnecting. no reboots, etc. good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 1:31 AM Subject: [BAWUG] Wireless USB adapter with panel antenna > Most Wireless USB adapters have a little antenna, but > no connector to hook up a panel antenna.
