Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I acquired a Wifi Yagi antenna. It has a diapole attached to it that plugs into a TNC connector. I tested it with my old WRT54G at about 200 feet (with line of sight) and it performed the same as the high-gain antenna I got from Linksys. I got 1-2/5 bars on my phone in both cases.

Am I doing something wrong? I should be getting better performance out of the Yagi than the omnidirectional antenna, I would think.
