Wireless kit

[George Barnett]

Hi All,

I have a 200mw senoa clone card (WL-0011MP+) which I bought from 
Solwise.co.uk which seems to be working rather well.

It came with a 2db antenna which I'm looking to bump up a bit as I'm 
getting a poor signal from where I live to some nearby (i think) AP's. 
Mostly my laptop sits on a table near a window with the antenna living 
just outside on the ledge.

At the moment, I have a 2db onmi with a magnetic base (came with the 
card), but I'm considering getting something a bit bigger to extend the 
range.

I want to get one of these a NET-WL-ANT008OSC from them.

I've read somewhere that these might not be RF grounded though and I 
need a large metal plate such as a car roof to make them work ok.  This 
would obviously not work then as I'm going to have it sitting on a ledge.

Does anybody have any experience with these?

Help appreciated,


George
