Could have used a Dremel cutoff wheel on the BNC connector rather than the pliers and dykes. Easier and neater

So how well does the cantenna send the signal down range compared to the wireless adapater you took apart assuming the cantenna and the wireless adapter are located in the same place?

I guess your not too concerned with high bandwidth then, youll be limited to about 2mbps download speed, roughly translating to a real work maximum download speed of about 200k per sec. Your losing a lot of bandwidth.
