On a whim, I just took the MX200i casing apart and found to my absolute amazement that the antenna is a USB dongle jobbie! In theory therefore, by making a slit in the rear of the case and employing a shielded 1m USB cable that I already have spare, I can try using a directional USB antenna to pick up the Home Hub signal which it won't quite do properly at the moment (0-5%).

Recommendations for a low cost, directional, USB, 802.11x antenna available in UK?

TVM.

Edited later: It's getting late and I forgot the small matter of drivers. A free thing for me to test though is simply to move the current antenna outside the case and in various locations.
