[MLB-WIRELESS] Netgear MR314 - external antenna issue

[rick]

he doesnt have antennas yet so far and i dont think he was after a million
dollar answer

scout around for wet-11's they should be under 250$

if your useing cantennas 11g isnt really a option as your signal strength
wont be good enough

if you want a 11g network then also expect to pay upto 150$ for a antenna
each end
