Ok, I'm really confused.
I want to build a free neighborhood HotSpot. I'm trying to decide on which AP to use. I plan to locate the AP near the antenna in a water tight enclosure.
I notice some AP's have dual antennas others don't. What are the advantages of using a dual vs single antenna.
Can some explain it?
TIA
Bart
How wide an area to serve?
Water tight?:) Get much rain?
Yes, Google for "antenna diversity"
You'll actually find that those AP's do in fact have two antennas, just that often, there's only one external one, the other is internal.

The pre-N Belkin AP has THREE visible antennas, and IIRC 9 in total. Claims to have the 60% better coverage then any B/G AP. Regards, Martin
Wi-Max has seven.
