Question Hardware Newbi ?

I have a linksys AP that I got a couple of years ago when I started working at home. I use it for access or my laptop and my iPaq. Teh Linksys AP has two antennas on it. Why? Are they both used? Can someone tell me the diff. between them?

Thanks
Britt

USE THE FRIGGEN SEARCH FEATURE, and if you still get nothing
try Google.com


Search For Anttena Diversity....

Taken right from a Linksys manual.

Whichever mode you use, the dual antenna configuration provides “antenna diversity”, for exceptional signal sensitivity and increased usable range.

That has to be the most subtle "RTFM" I've seen in quite a while.

Anyone who has ever purchased Linksys stuff will know that they hide your device under endless manuals, info sheets and assorted "how to get it to work" crappola. It takes a determined newbie to miss ALL of that...

I stated the AP was two years old, also I dont have the manual any more. I did serach the site for my answer before I asked. And when you search all the fourms here for antenna diversity the only thread that comes up is this one. so poke your eyes back in your head biotch! and the next time your around my neck in the woods dont bother war driving by my house bum off my t1 or stoping in for a beer! and thanks for the key word it helped. So since you like flamming newbs so much madhadder why havent you put some of that extra energy in to making the ultimate newbi FAQ yet?

Someone's upset now aren't they?

And since you asked about the FAQ, I take it you haven't look here or you would know that the section is deticated to FAQ's.

I hear you already, WWWWAAAAAA my ass hurts, (copyright Chris), WWWWAAAAAAAAA The regular's are treating me like a n00b even though I didn't search or use google or even (GASP) the linksys support site.

You searched for "antenna diversity" and found only one thread?!? I think NOT! Here are the results of my search - 81 threads

And regardless of how old your Linksys is, the manual is still available off of the Linksys web site
