I would highly recommend _against_ using omnidirectional, or anything
other than a directional antenna (such as a modded galaxy dish, a cubic
quad, or a dual rhomboid).  The omni-directional antennas are ideal for
Access Points, but not for clients.  The directional antennas have more
gain and produce less noise that can interfere with other clients, or
other Access Points attempting to use the same frequency you are using.
Imagine the difference between every client using a 360 degree antenna
to every client using a directional antenna, and the noise it would
produce.

Please leave omni-directional antennas exclusively to Access Points.
