Don't know what stores/products you have in your neck of the woods, but we
had something similar in northern Idaho (metal snow roof, outside thing was
just a directional antenna on the chimney and a long cable that came inside
to a card in the pc... If it's similar, had an antenna jack on the cable,
just picked up a wap/router at walmart (don't know if you have em there),
replaced on of the antennas on the box with the cable/connector (in essence
just replacing one of the antennas with the one on the cable, a little
strange, since diversity antennas are supposed to be in pairs), in the setup
prog, told it to clone the mac address i gave it, and all was ok (mostly,
cept for the prob with one antenna instead of two)....
