RE: High gain antennas and pigtails

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

I take it you mean the NET-WL-ANT005OSC from Solwise? It has got to be
worth the tenner to try replacing the existing antenna on the Linksys
with one. Would you just replace one or both of them, or just turn off
the second antenna using the USB utility?

Anyone know where I can buy some reverse TNC connectors so that I can
hook it up to the Linksys - I've got the crimp tool, I might as well
use
it!
