I want/need a directional antennae for my wireless router. I have one router that serves the sole purpose of allowing a connection from about 150 feet away across the parking lot. There is line of site, but with standard antennaes the reception is marginal. Does anyone know of a solid design or source for such a thing?

You can make a simple antenna add on like below, and if it works, you can make it a little more heavy duty. You can also buy some commercial types.

150 feet, line of site across a parking lot, window to window, might work with a simple reflector. One problem with shooting across a parking lot is that metal things tend to wander around in a parking lot. Some of them are large, and might block signals.

EZ-10 and "template 2" being the easiest.
For an add on antenna, it might be nice to know what kind of router you have. Some have removable antennas, some don't.
