I did that too, a couple years ago. It worked extremely well. Now I use 18-element Yagis when I want a lot of gain. They're pretty inexpensive on eBay. The dish was possibly a bit better for gain, but the Yagis are not quite so, um, ungainly, and also easier to aim. Besides, I don't have to leave the router out in the rain.
