Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} Laptop wifi find more than external antenna

I travel with a USB wifi dongle and one of these directional antennas:

Lately I've noticed there are some APs that my laptop's internal wifi
connects to perfectly, but the external antenna can't find whatsoever,
even after a lot of directional experimentation. I've tried 2
different USB dongles with the same result. Has anyone had a similar
experience? I'm baffled because the external antenna is able to make
strong connections to some APs, but it can't even find others that the
laptop's internal card finds and connects to no problem.
