My 4 DIR-655 routers (3 are APs) each have 3 external antennae, and I have changed one out to a directional antenna to aim at my guest house -- works great.

Sure, but with wireless 6 feet from the base station I get within 90% of the possible speed from my wireless devices using the same LAN Speed Test software. 6 feet apart on a single circuit for the 4205's and I get 20% of the rated speed. That's just too far below the advertised speed to be...
