SMC does not have a removable antenna as far as I know.

How far do you have the AP placed from the router?

Is it possible to get a longer network cable to move the AP closer to
center for all these computers?

My system is located in one end of my house and most of the computers are
located at the other end of the house.

I ended up running a long cat5 cable (along the edge of the floor) to an AP
and placing it closer to the center of the house.  This gets everyone at
one end of the house a useable signal, plus it keeps a good signal in my
bedroom(workroom) so I can use my laptop when I need to.

Also the wireless adapters for the computers all have USB cables on them so
we can move them and place them to get the best signal.  As you can tell I
do not have USB dongle adapters.

Just a suggestion.

Stewart
