Question Linksys BEFW11S4 with grid antenna

I have a question. I am somewhat of a newbie to wireless. I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router and am trying to connect a remote home appx 350' away using a parabolic grid antenna, but also want to be able to use the wireless in my own home as well. Do I need to make any changes to the antenna spread pattern? I'm not sure I know exactly what the spread patterns are used for. If I understand correctly, diversity spread alternates between the antennas for signal strength, but if I have on antenna as a directional to another house and leave the other antenna with the default omni, will that cause any problems? I have looked through a number of the forums for any info regarding this, but couldn't find any specific info. Thanks!
