The big thing to look for in antenna's is whether it is directional or
omni-directional.
Most users want an Omni directional antenna that will cover their whole house
or building.
A directional antenna is great for 2 repeaters (get the antenna's on towers
and have a ball, even a pringles can can work (google pringles antenna).
Also good for providing wireless to a park or certain location from an
adjacent antenna.
If you are going to get an antenna make sure it will help your situation.
Most antenna's that you can find at Fry's etc. should be omni-directional.
If the antenna is a whip your fine, if it is like a can or even a dish it is
more likely directional.
