   Yikes. In addition to the "dBi" and "dBm" thinkos...   
       
      
   There was, in the sig, yet another typo ... "impedance" (not imedence")...   
      
   Note the main reason for having to correct the typos is that those silly   
   little girls on this newsgroup who have nothing to add, will endlessly   
   quibble about the typos just like you see happening in this thread about   
   "antenna" versus "radio", where, this set in my basement shows the antenna   
   and radio can be considered one unit for practical purposes such as the   
   instruction "aim the antenna, will ya".   
       
      
   As I noted with tires, those who quibble about the colloquial use of   
   something as common as decibels would never get to the more important   
   points, such as where we discuss in a tutorial how to mount the red dot   
        
   versus what's different when we choose how to mount the yellow dot:   
     <   
      
   Where the main point is that if we're trying to get something done,   
   then quibbling about the fact that tires and wheels are different is   
   something only those who have zero value to add, will quibble about.   
      
   Sure, those trolls are MOST of the posts in this thread.   
   o But the fact remains the trolls added _zero_ on topic technical value.   
      
   Having said that, almost always, the Wi-Fi radios we're talking about are   
   mounted directly to the antenna (just as SUV tires are mounted directly to   
   the wheels), there are cases when the Wi-Fi radio is simply "close" to the   
   antenna, as shown in this box I built myself a few years ago out of spare   
   parts:   
       
      
   In that case, the radio is "close" to the antenna, as shown in this picture   
   which shows that the old desktop can be placed hundreds of feet from the   
   house in the barn, and it will still connect either to the access points   
   scattered about the property...   
        
   Or, if needed, it can connect to access points literally miles away.   
        
      
   --   
   The intelligent adult will note the worthless trolls are being ignored.   
   (and yet, they still troll ... which is all they _can_ do ... it seems.)
