150+. Wow! I have a NetGear 814 that produced 77 from its omni
antenna a couple of inches away. I replaced that with a panel antenna
and it jumped to 92. I thought that was pretty good. What are you
doing to get 150? By the time I get to my office the signal is down to
about 26 and the difference between the omni and the panel is down to
about 4! I got the panel hoping to boost the strength in my office but
there must be too many walls in the way
