I recently built a new workshop which is around 500 feet behind my house. This is my first WiFi Pineapple, it is connected to a separate VLAN via an ethernet cable and it will remain in this configuration for the foreseeable future. I own a few USB WiFi cards (AWUS036NEH, AWUS036NHV, and AWUS036NH) plus several antennas (16DB Yagi, 9db omni, 7db panel) I want to set it up for the best all around configuration but I have a few questions.
Do I have to add the antennas in pairs if I am just doing 2.4ghz?
Am I better off buying 2 or 3 more Yagi, omni and panel antennas and use them on the Pineapple, should I attach a USB WiFi dongle and add the extra antennas there or should I do a combination of both? I want to use PineAP and also airdump /aircrack
Does adding USB dongles give this setup any advantages if it's not being used to connect to an access point?
