New Large Wi-Fi Antenna

Dec 08, 2006 6 Replies

Hello to all,



Another antenna project for long range 802.11 operation has been posted to my web page. This one is a long helix, and performs quite well. A short version, combined with a satellite dish outperforms the linear focus design by a wide margin. Give this a try if you're experiencing weak signals. Today's little Ku band dishes are great for application in wireless networking and require less set-up work than the strainers and linear focus reflectors.


Construction details may be found on my web page:

and it works. i made it and fixed it to a ariel rotator, so that it can be turned completely around. i then use a 12 inch jack arm to tilt it up and down when needed.

range? about 3 or 4 miles (range of sight)
