I got a Linksys AP, I noticed it has 2 antennas.
Is this called dipole antenna?
Why it has 2 antennas, not 1? what is the functionality of each one of them?
I read in the book that the length of an antenna should be equal or a multiple of the wavelength (2, 4, 1/2, 1/4 ...). What is the best multiplication to use?
I searched the net, all home made antennas had many parts of 1/2 size of wavelength (putting together parts of half the length of wavelength):

Wavelebgth of a 2.4GHz signal is:
3*10^8 / 2.4*10^9 = 0.125m = 12.5 cm
So, does every antenna of the AP has a 1/2 length of this wavelength (roughly 6 cm) ??
Thanks a lot !!
