High-Gain Antennae

I was in an office store yesterday, picking up supplies for our (duh) home office, when I spotted a new Linksys product. As I've been relatively happy with their home networking hardware (except for the A/G/B router that's flaky as dandruff), I decided to take a closer look. They're selling a high-gain antennas for your wireless routers now. You can unscrew your stubby antennae and fasten better broadcasters in a heartbeat – easiest hardware installation / upgrade ever. They've got two High-Gain Antenna Kits: HGA7S and HGA7T, depending on your router. If you've had signal degredation or other issues with your Linksys wireless network, pick up these badboys: “The High Gain Antennas increase the strength of outgoing signals and the receive sensitivity for incoming signals. This added signal strength and sensitivity not only extends the range of your wireless network, but also improves close-range communications reliability by reducing re-transmissions due to weak signal reception errors.” They say the height of a man's antennae is inversely proportional to his… signal.
