I originally posted this as a reply in the Powerbook Forum.
I changed the orientation of my AE station just for fun last night, and to get better reception in certain parts of my house. So I got out my 20' ladder and mounted the little guy upsidedown on the cross-beam running through the center of the house (my house is an 1800 sqft log cabin w/ vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters). I used a loooong extension cord for power and a 30' Cat5 patch cable to hook up to my switch (I have the cables running along on top of the beam so you can't see them). When my living room lights are off it looks like a UFO hovering over the room, those blinking blue LEDs are very cool.
All I can say is WOW, my reception all over the house is much, MUCH, better. I get 3-4 bars of signal in every part of the house now, except the basement which only gets 2 bars. That's not a big deal, the basement is mostly unfinished and I use it mainly as a workshop/storage.
I'm very happy with the results.
