thanks, is there any way I can check the transmit output? as that info doesn't
tend to be in many router's specs.
the antennas I am looking at are dualband ones.

Hi.
Take a look at the TP-Link range. The range of routers that have D at the end
have detachable antennas, so for example the TDW-841N antennas are fixed, but
the TDW-841ND antennas can be detached and upgraded. Bare in mind that your
router may have to have adequate transmit power in some cases to fully take
advantage of a higher gain antenna. Your antenna must also support the band
that your router output is going to be using, so the 2.4GHZ band or 5GHZ band
etc.
cheers,
Mo.

yes, that would be the idea. like I said, I can find plenty of antennas,
but just need a router that actually takes them, rather than having internal
ones, or external but fixed ones of it's own.

hello all,
I wondered if anyone knows of any routers that take external antennas?
I am sure they must be about somewhere, as I have found a number of
high gain external wifi antennas available, and there would seem little point
in making such antennas, if no routers take them, but can't seem to track down
any routers that take external antennas. if possible, the router should also
contain the adsl or infinity modem, so that I can completely replace the joke
called a bt hub, but that is only desirable, rather than a priority.
