Re: Cheap Antenna's and pigtails?

The WAP11 and WRT54G both use rp-tnc, not SMA.

As a general rule of thumb, if you divide the additional gain by the 
path loss coefficient, you'll have the
additional range in dB.

Thus, (15 - 2.2)/2.0 = 6.4dB, or a bit under 4.4X the range, which, if 
you're barely connecting at 100', won't quite
get you to 500'.  Moreover, since a path-loss coefficient of 2.0 is 
pure LOS, you should probably think about
modeling with a path-loss coefficient of 3.0 or more, and in this case 
(as well as with the 8dBi omni), you probably
won't make the link.
