Right now I can't easily run a cable from the entertainment center to the network gear. So my current setup for that equipment (HTPC, PS3, Onkyo Reciever) is all piped through a 2.4ghz 802.11n 4 port "game" adapter. I did that because 1 radio talking to the AP is better then 3-4 radios talking to it. I've also setup the AP it connects to on its own channel, separate from my "main" AP everything else connects to. So the entertainment center has its own dedicated AP and dedicated 2.4ghz channel with the other APs on the opposite side of the spectrum.
I'm hoping this will cure any and all skipping problems with HD content streamed from the internet or other PCs in the house (wired PCs).
Anyway, my question is: Has anyone used directional antenna in the house and through walls? I was thinking if its necessary, or would help, I might in the future grab a couple of the 30 degree directional antenna (like 14-18dB gain I believe) and point one from the "game" adapter and one from the AP directly at each other. Probably massive overkill but sounded like a fun idea.
