Default How to calculate increase of home wireless router range?

hehe -- getting gain at the antenna isn't such a big deal ... getting the
goo TO the antenna is a whole 'nuther can of worms. It's pretty easy to
come up with 10 dB of gain and 20 dB of feedline loss! Of course, for WiFi,
we're often interested in gain AND omnidirectional -- that is something of a
challenge.

Indeed, at 2.4 MHz, it is pretty easy to get antennas with amazing
amounts
of gain. ......


Sigh... If only that were true! HI!HI!
