Dual Antenna La Fonera
April 10, 2008
Well after bricking two of my Foneras I decided to take a break from swapping out the firmware and adding a second antenna to my third Fonera. Now, I’m not a very good solderer but I when ahead anyways. I cut out an antenna out of a bricked Fonera so there would be not wasting and stripped and separated the wires and began soldering
And there we have it, what I call my bunny Fonera.
After I get the dd-wrt installed on an other Fonera I will install it to this one. I’m very please with my work and I hope you are too.
Bellow are more pictures, enjoy.

Note that you get optimal dual antenna performance when you separate the antennae by 12.3cm (i.e. one wavelength @ 2.4GHz). Not so much when you place the antenna side-by-side.
