Re: Dish -> Omni Antenna?

Pulled the signal in... it sounds like you are trying to use an access
point when you need a bridge.  APs are for connecting clients to a
wired lan, bridges connect a wired lan to another wired lan, or a
wired lan to a wireless lan.

Maybe a picture of what you have now and what you want to have would
be helpful.  But it is safe to say that you don't want to attach two
different kinds of antennas to a Linksys AP.  The two antenna ports
are connected to the same radio internally, so you cannot use each
port for a different function.  They are only meant to offer antenna
diversity.
