I live in a long thin terraced housed; I have the AP near the front of the house and cannot recieve a conection when at the rear of the house. I have experimented with different antennas and placements, but, found nothing gave a marked improvement.

In this instance, I would much prefer to install multiple access points. I'd tweak these down so that they used the least power possible, whilst still covering my house. Unfortunatly, I can't because the room best suited for an access point at the rear of the house is the bathroom...

But still, I believe that multiple, low power access points are the way to go. It may be a little expensive, but, the price of antennas quickly add up. I just don't like to use a sledgehammer to open a peanut. We're more inteligant than that
