<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The main reason that this should not be some with a
dual antenna access point, is that they default to using both antennas... I
won't go into the whole spiel about how dual antennas combat multi-path
reflections by receiving at differnt phase points, but only one antenna is ever
used at the one time...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It may *seem* to work correctly, but don't expect
any performance about it....</FONT></DIV>

multipaths if people want it....</FONT></DIV>

connect two directionals to??</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone tell me the make etc. of an AP that
you can hook two directionals to?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have talked to some suppliers of AP's with dual
antenna sockets and they tell it can't be done with theirs. They indicate that
you would need two AP's back to back with a directional on each. I want a
least power use, least hardware option to set up a "repeater". On omni on one
AP may work but this link needs to be super reliable - highest speed.
