It certainly does matter, especially on the transmitting side. It's just hard to predict how long it needs to be without breaking out antenna modeling software.

Here's a site with a few different wifi antenna designs and some antenna modeling:

This site has a calculator for cantenna dimensions: http://www.wikarekare.org/Antenna/WaveguideCan.html http://www.wikarekare.org/Antenna/WaveguideCan.html
- jgrahamc 15y agoSorry, I was answering a different question (the original question was a bit unclear). The antenna length certainly does matter as you point out, I thought the parent was asking about the piece of coat hanger that I use to sweep along the coil to find stations in my crystal radio. My mistake for misinterpreting the question.
