I added 3xAsus Omni 9dbi 2.4GHz antennas to an N16 (running tomato, output=60mW) I have set in Wireless Bridge to the wireless router (another N16, also running tomato, output=60mW) in the basement. That bridge runs to a switch and provides wired connections to a laptop and desktop.
I was getting decent connection from the router but I wanted to try to get a bit less interference and maybe a little more signal strength. I ordered the three new antennas, put them on the bridge (directly connected, didn't use the included stands), and noticed a small increase in strength (maybe 2db) but was hoping for a bit more.
Was I simply being overly optimistic or did I buy a less than quality antenna?
