he also mentioned a patio mount or ....
So - I'm guessing it's just pointing "down the block" -
If it's sitting on the patio, then the cable has to go inside & connect to his NIC & desktop ?
plus - all that RF bouncing on the ground, etc - fresnel -
Is that the 10dBi omni?

it is, you might get enough more gain and blockage of unwanted noise and signal by adding a simple reflector.

EZ-12, printed on photo paper for thick stock, with aluminum foil glued to the sail, provides a substantial boost in signal.

Make the tabs longer than the template drawing for easier assembly.
Really, one of those Ubiquiti Nano LoCos will be perfect. Any antenna plus good cable plus pigtail will cost more and you will be more limited on length.
Just mount the LoCo2 as high and clear LOS as possible and run an cheap ethernet cable inside to your pc or router. It will come with a power injector.
It may hurt to abandon your wireless NIC in the desktop, but you'll get over it. The loco will act as the radio and the antenna.
