We have the DDWRT software in our Linksys and you can have one antenna
for receive and the other for transmit, or you can have both tx/rx. We
had one antenna run to a dish antenna outside and another dish antenna
at my daughters house about a block away and shared our internet
connection with her. If you have a two story or very large house simply
remote mount one antenna for better coverage.
You can also crank up the power to a max of about a quarter watt for
trouble areas in your house.
