Re: Antenna questions, please help newbie, TIA!

I have noticed users with low signal when above or to low of a 15 db but at
a distance i didn't find it too harsh. From level 3 (level with the antenna)
signal was perfect and at level 20 the signal was low but stable and usable.
In the next town over level 24 was good signal and level 3 perfect again.
The donut is squashed but not to a unusable fine point. There are lower gain
antennas on the market if u want a different donut.

Hoyou aim an omni?

A high-gain omni has a pattern like a horizontal frisbie, so vertical
aiming becomes critical.

p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread
-- it makes the thread confusing and hard to follow. Thanks.

We are both in stucco houses and his router is on a desk in a bedroom.

Mush depends on how many walls are between you, and what's in those
walls.

What would happen if I installed a 15db gain vertical whip antenna? It
would have to work better than my rubber ducky on a Senoa card right?

Not necessarily -- that high a gain omni would be difficult to aim and
keep aimed. Consider instead a directional antenna.
