Ok so please hear me out this is NOT your typical "How do you get the antenna's off?" question. I recently purchased a WRT54G to replace my old one that I had. Well I noticed the Antennas looked funny and quickly learned thrue some less than pleasant google searches that Linksys and there awesome wisdom decided not to make them removable in the V8 version!! Great so my genus plan to provide Wifi for a nearby area via WRT54G with a nice directional antenna has failed yet again! So my question is, is there a modification I can do to hook an antenna like Idk cracking it open, and wiring it manually or am I totally ****ed into Linksys dumb new design?
It was kind of like a gift/me buying it from my parents and I would hate to have to take it back and try and find a Version 6. I really do like the WRT54G, I loved my old one but this no removable antenna has been agrivating me. I had no idea they changed this as its the same brand name and the picture is damn near if not exactly the same. I really am pissed off at not being able to get the damn antenna's off. I guess I could find one of the idk countless people with an older WRT54G that don't even know what an antenna is and trade but thats a strange question to ask....lots of responses greatly appreciated. Quick question: Does this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...8089&CatId=372 have removable antenna's in the newest version? Might have to take my WRT54G back and get this if it does, I really just need an Access Point but the router feature is nice....
Sidenote: This thing is pwning the shit out of my Netgear Rangemax by allot and I have them on total opposite channels as well....weird.
