BTW, I stopped by Frys' and picked up a 7dbi indoor. Ripped out the guts, put a short new cable + N connector on it and mounted it in a chunk of polybutyl tubing. Built a home-made mount using some brass tubing and steel sheet then added hard drive magnets and plopped it on the roof. Fed a 8' length of 3/8" super-flex inside and hooked 'er up.

I can't believe the difference. Added to the detection range by at least 150' by using the neighbors' AP as a guinea pig.
