I'm wanting to install two external antennas pointing
different directions on a WAP54G... does it have the
same antenna limitations as the old WAP11 (Left,Right,Diversity)?

Thanks!
-Brendan

Another thing to lookout for is the version of your WAP54g. The
diversity mode works differently on the version 1.0 with 1.08 firmware
than the version 1.1 with the 1.08 firmware. I struggled with this
for several hours before I figured out what was going on.

On the 1.0 with the version 1.08 firmware the "right" position assumes
you are viewing the WAP54g from the rear panel (the connector side of
the unit). Therefore what they are calling the right antenna is
really what I would call the left since I assumed the selection was
defined based on looking at the front panel. Once I figured this out
everything worked fine.

However, I purchased two new WAP54g to setup a second bridge and guess
what. With the 1.1 version of the WAP54g they have now defined right
and left based on looking at the front panel!

By the way, you can tell the 1.1 version by look on the bottom and
reading the model number or by looking at the front panel. The front
panel on the 1.1 version only has three LEDs.
