Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone with wifi issues in the house had tried buying an aftermarket high gain antenna for their PCI wifi adapter cards, and what difference it made?

I got a wireless bridge to extend the network downstairs instead of getting an antenna. As long as the antenna fits and doesn't cause a downturn in the the signal, it should be fine.

The difference will be small. You will notice a bigger difference in using an antenna with an extension cable, like a Linksys AS1SMA.

If you are using Wireless G, you will notice a bigger improvement by going to N.
