[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1066617, member: 176704"] If I interpret that correctly, you were referring to the various directional antennas in the link right at the bottom of the page, and, it is [I]possible[/I], that someone might go to the trouble of constructing something like one of the Vertical slotted tubular antennas described there - OTOH, I don't think that most of the riff-raff around here would have either the nous or the dedication to go to such lengths, and they'd probably then use something more than a Blackberry to run it. BTW: I have tried cheap commercial reflector-type directional antennas in the house, and they do make a slight difference to comms performance, but that was with older and less sophisticater routers, whereas more modern MiMo routers generate stronger signals in many directions - and that obviously begs the question "Are you jeopardising you WiFi security by getting a router with better range?" Never seen that question asked (although I am sure it must have been - sometime, somewhere), but it's worth pondering!o_O [/QUOTE]
