Hello all,
I'm going to install a hotspot in about a week from now and have been planning to extend the service to the community buildings nearby. It's a netgear fwag114 based service and as there's not going to be any ADSL service until then I can't test it yet.
I'm hoping to extend the range to about 200ft from my home in all directions and I suspect I'll need an external antenna to do this. What eludes me is information on how such an antenna might be connected.
There's no visible means to connect an antenna to the base unit. If there was, I could expect to suffer a 7db signal loss thru a 10m cable to an omni rooftop antenna with a 9db gain.
What's the usual method of attaching one of these external antenna? Does it require that I buy an access point to 'drive' the antenna and to house it in the loft to minimise the cable length?
TIA Jeff
