Please log in for more thread options To what degree can you increase range of a wifi signal through use of long range antennas? I would like to use my skype wifi phone with an augmented range. Any thoughts on what technologies are currenly available toward that end? Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Will you be able to carry a 30 ft ladder around with you? Can you stay tethered to a fixed location? Five ft. diameter dishes are clumsy to carry around. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

>clumsy to carry around. I keep suggesting an inflatable dish antenna at various meetings, but nobody seems interested in selling one. I have been known to carry a 3ft (24dBi) dish antenna on top of a telescoping fiberglass pole looking for interference. It's quite a balancing act and requires both skill and a good insurance carrier. The local university (UCSC) built a new science and engineering building without providing for Wi-Fi. They also installed aluminized mylar coated windows for thermal insulation. The result is the equivalent of a large shielded screen room with little Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. Students have been seen with various strange antenna arrays including a large panel "backpack antenna", small panels on hats, collinear verticals on a pole, and various bizarre reflectors. Necessity may be the mother of invention, but desperation and kludge are close relatives. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
