Installing Wi-Fi Antennas

Safety Advice- If you are mounting an antenna outdoors make sure you have fitted a lightning arrestor! The last thing you want is thousands and thousands of volts of the good stuff hitting your WLAN equipment and computer network.

Regulatory Advice - Make sure you are not exceeding the maximum power for WLAN networks. There is a limit of 20Dbi on all 802.11b equipment.
