Just an update...

I did stopped by RatShack, and picked up the 7db antennas.

They are omni-directional, and about 3x the length of the ones that came
with the router.

They did make a big difference in range. Did a "walk-around" on the
block, and I get a strong signal quite a way away!

Just to confirm my earlier statements, while I was at the checkout at
RadShack, the guy did ask "so, who do you have as a cell phone provider?
How about Sat TV?" :(
