Re: 30 DB directional..

No it does not. How woul the Linksys determine if it should RX/TX on a
particular antenna ?

The purpose of two antennas is (said) that the box may use diversity for RX
in order to overcome some phasing problems. But I believe it more a
marketing issue. The reference model from Global Suntech had two antennas.
Some vendors make one of the two antennas external (like DWL-900AP+) and the
other internal on the PCMCIA board.
