Faulty Antenna?
I have an Orinoco 8470-WD Gold Card w/ an Atheros Chipset.
The card has a MC connector for an external antenna. The antenna I have has a Female-N connector type. I bought the appropriate cables and connect the card to the antenna via the cable... There is no improvement whatsoever in the range. I Have the antenna sitting on the floor since I have no had the time to mount it on a wall. It is a 12dBi antenna that is built for the outdoors. It is about 3 feet tall. It is manufactured by hyperlink technologies? Does this sound like a faulty antenna or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. |

But the ants and termites in your floor are now glowing  I would say find time to mount that antenna at least 10-12 feet up or higher (20-30 feet would be nice)

3 Feet away... And yes... is it really hard to believe the antenna is sitting on the floor since I have not had time yet to drill holes in my wall to mount an antenna? |

Maybe receiver saturation since you have a 12db antenna in the same bleedin' room only 3 feet away?

Either you meant "armature", but I don't do homemovies about rotating parts of a dynamo, moving parts of electromagnetic devices, pieces of soft iron connecting the poles of a magnet, protective coverings, structures, or organs of an animal or a plant, or frameworks serving as a supporting core for clay sculpture. Or you meant "amateur", but there's nothing amateurish about my homemovies either... And NO G8t, you can't see them... Dutch

The dictionary comment - not a movie showing animal organs. I have one of those already.
