Linksys BEFW11S4 Antenna Ideas
Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 8:13 pm
To people that own one of these or are familiar with them-
What options are there for getting rid of the lame rubber ducks and getting a serious omni setup and extending the range? Anyone know what kind of connection the antennas use? Looks like BNC but doesn't exactly fit. I'm trying to maybe double the range and I think those rubber ducks are like 1 or 2db. And i'll give any wardrivers in the area a good signal and some free bandwidth. Has anyone tried this? Sorry if this has been posted but I didn't see anything on this topic.
BTW their so called product data sheets are more like marketing gimicks sheet, not much real value.
