High Gain Antenna
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124155

I want to know if i can use my high gain antenna I bought, on my WCG200
I know it will fit (both have TNC connectors) but I asked 3 ppl with linksys's live chat. The first person said it's not recommended. The secound said it will not work. The third said it's not tested.

does anybody know if they will work, I don't see why not, but after i talk to the 3 linksys live help ppl I am unsure

The linksys folks won't tell you yes or not because they just don't know. Any aftermarket product they don't test with theirs they won't put a "yes" stamp on. I personally can't tell you yes or no either because I haven't tested it. I can however tell you that I have tested non linksys high gain antenna with many a linksys router and as long as they used the same connectors they worked for me.
