Hi , i bought 3 Wap54g , and tryed to use them as outdoor ones , put one on My roof , and the others on my Friend's one , in 250 M , and the other in the opposite way of the first one , from me 250 M ( approx... ).
but i got a very weak signal of 25 % For the First & in the other 19 % Connection Strenght ( 3 & 2 Mbps ) , what i want to know , is that if i add a 7 Dbi antenna For each one of the access Point , am i going to have a clear connection with a 54 Mbps Speed ?

I am not sure what you are doing with the 3rd box. Maybe a little clarification.

Irregardless, adding a higher gain antenna will provide a better signal. You may want to consider using a directional antenna from a 3rd party (try "Seatle Wireless" for more info on what I think your trying to do.)
