Nice explanation --short-n-sweet! I've done a point-to-point job at 2000 ft. I used two 15dBi parabolic grid antennas from L-Com and two lightning protectors from RadioLabs. Can't go wrong with either place --great products and service from both sellers. For those who've never done it before, be sure to ground those lightning protectors with a copper rod. It doesn't take much to fry Wi-Fi equipment. The lightning protector will take the hit, dump the excess voltage to the ground, and protect your equipment from damage. Well worth a few bucks for outdoor setups.
Watching this in 2020 and I miss shows like this so hard, Hack 5, The Ben Heck Show ect. These used to be some of my favorite channels.
I've set up many long distance Roaming Networks. You basically have to run CAT6 or Fibre out to the transmit locations. Then it is rock solid blanket coverage WiFi over the entire property or facility. Long distance transmit of a single wireless signals just do not work well. Always set up a Roaming Network.
here's a tip. add a repeater ( range extender ) at the end of your directional antenna so that way you get the whole area covered.
Ok to clarify WiFi is RF. 2.4GHz considered microwave. It need LOS because first off it's FM modulated. FM dosent do well bending around large objects. Hince you can hear Am and shortwave radio stations from beyond the horizon but not FM stations. Another factor is the higher the frequency the easier it is to block it and/or deflect is. Take a radar for example, it works by sending a microwave signal out and receives it back by it reflecting off an object. Another example is satellite TV. the birds are LOS in space but the ground stations are not. Another factor is the higher the frequency the more data it can carry. faster wifi on 2.4ghz that on 900MHz and even faster on 5GHz. Wifi is limited by the FCC because it is infact a microwave and if you go too high in power things can become bad for your health. 500mW @ 6.4GHz can give you a quite irritating burn on your hand. Interest though is a microwave oven operates at 2.45GHz @ 600 - 2000 watts
It is not modulation, it is the frequency(wavelength). Larger Wavelengths/lower frequencies are able to bend around, and shorter wavelengths don't. However they are able to pass through holes within large objects.
And by holes i mean holes for the radio waves, not physical holes. e.g. : A glass window is considered a hole, but a glass window with a dense wire mesh it is not.
Modulation has nothing to do with it.
AM it is usually used for long wavelengths due to practical reasons.
The longer wavelength along with other spectrum are reflected by the ionosphere during certain conditions. Basically the wave is emitted from some place, hits the sky and bounces back on earth somewhere far away.
Regardind the uW-oven, the waves are closed within it's chassis. The door has a dense grill on it and everything else is enclosed in steel. De energy outside is very small, it is all dissipated inside when food is being cooked.
yes you are correct. I was abit tired when i wrote the comment
i Remember this guy from techtv days!!! Glad your still around!
We have a farm and use extended wifi to link our remote weather and work stations. We also have extended it to the shop.
exactly why I'm here
ubiquity has some solutions, but since it's geared toward the business/corporation side, they can get quite expensive.
wish people would stop assuming all because you able to "see" your desired network don't mean you able to connect to it. the connection is still governed be the access points antenna in order to transmit the signals back to you. So buying one powerful antenna / card for you computer don't really work at all, when in fact you need the router and client to have more or less same power output for the connection
cyberjackcyberjack Physical concepts outside of the visible spectrum are beyond the understanding of most people. They are still burning witches, you know. Still I guess they never heard of WPA2 128 bit encryption and assume that wi-fi passwords somehow go away when you can communicate with their personal router remotely. Maybe it's just a "get off my lawn" thing.
cyberjack
Not true at all. Only one side, yours, is required to be more powerful in transmission and more sensitive in reception.
You can get really inexpensive outdoor access points like the tp link they will go long distance no problem you can use one on either end if you really need to for many miles line of sight. They are all over amazon. I have gone over 1/4 to half a kilometer and had Netflix running on the phone or tablet just fine
(wi/fi, or wifi [hard] wi[red] fi[delity]) im surpirsed how many people dont know that to begin with.
wi-fi is a small radio network that you host; radio transmission/reception is susceptable to phase cancellation and multipath deviation. this is when signals encounter solid objects and bounce or change paths. they then reach your antenna at different times from different angles and many are even reflected away from you! repeaters or simply more power are a practical solution; removal on solid objects causing interference - not so much. just ask your neighbor to demolish that new metal out building, or to tear off that new metal clad roof...
On the fact of RF signals output to a source. Garbage into an amplifier is garbage out. Clean to be clean on signals.
i once made a dish one using just a usb wireless card it was a belkin g usb card all i did was put the little usb thing in the eye of the dish and i could get up to a half mile when i put it on top my house i could get a mile but bars where very weak
really works
I once called China, right through the center of the Earth?
My nieghbors have something like that when they turn it on the tv and phone cut out plus friends that come over feel static electricity that makes the hair rise on their head is thete a way to block it
John Puccetti (below): At close proximity to microwaves you are correct, they can cook a brain or fry a turkey (see "Microwave Oven", a device that typically transmits at a signal strength of 1000 watts which is received by an object inside a RF sealed enclosure at less than 12" away which continues to heat the object from the vibrations of the waves until it eventually reaches a temperature hot enough to "cook"). However, at the low power levels required of all FCC approved communication equipment, this restricts the maximum transmit power level to 0.5 watts for all these devices which by every scientific method of test has been proven to be non-harmful to human beings.
True, in folklore and often quoted as the fodder as what evolved into today's modern microwave oven revolution, there were incidences of military personal literally hanging a turkey in front of a military microwave antenna, used to provide a thanksgiving meal to many remote military installations that were incidentally ill equipped for meal preparation of the yearly celebration. These antennas were powered by transmitters well beyond the 0.5 watts as was used int this demonstration but instead at levels approaching those transmitted by the transponder of a typical microwave oven.
Now it is also true that if you were to climb such a microwave transmission tower or if the tower were not well above the walkable terrain of the area, that you could be severely harmed by the microwave signal. Otherwise by the time the signal reached your body when it does touch the horizon, the signal would be quite harmless to you, considering that all radio signals fall in intensity at a rate equal to and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between you and the antenna. With this information you should be able to calculate that by the time these highly directional signals reach the level of the horizon where they could possibly strike you, they would also be too week to affect you.
Now, still you are correct there is a potential for harm in instances where the governing bodies over radio waves, such as in countries outside the US would allow the positioning of these transmitting antennas to exist next to apartment buildings, particularly where the terrain allows a dwelling to be in a line of sight and close proximity to the transmitter, yes that would be an issue to be concerned with. Otherwise you can grasp understanding the power of the microwaves produced by your FCC approved devices by comparing them to the waves of the seashore, they can be irritating but not to the point of doing physical damage. With that comparison, then think of a microwave oven as that same wave from the short but powered by the height, depth and force of a tsunami. The key in using caution or worrying over microwaves is to focus on situations where cell towers or other high power communication antennas are in close proximity to an apartment window, such as seen in many mountainous countries of Latin America. Each of the modules on a typical cell tower are transmitting at around 500 watts, roughly half the strength of a typical large microwave oven.
And ignore the tests of the show myth-busters. On their demo of this subject, they used a transmitter which is mostly bound by the same restrictions of transmitting power as your typical consumer devices in their attempt to heat their token test bird. Also in the TV-van style setup as I believe they were using for their test, this setup typically performs at a much lower frequency and power level than do cell towers because these implementations require the lower frequencies (no longer "micro" waves), signals which will be much more usable for their "on the spot" TV reporting by having a physical characteristic of more easily bending around corners and penetrating solid surfaces (while miraculously causing less potential for physical damage to human tissue while doing so - not the case for the shorter or "micro" waves.) True signals of a microwave nature do not easily bend, and only propagate in one direction and never through anything of miniscule substance in the real world (and thus outside of your oven box). They are highly susceptible to blockage of physical bodies of simple architecture such as microwave door screens, tree limbs and walls are thus highly undesirable for "hidden deep in the city" TV-van style reporting. Thus they are typically not used.
So in short, if you find a cheap hotel in another country outside of the severe US FCC regulations and you look out your upper floor window and see the white square looking antenna of a cell tower positioned reasonably close to you which appears to be supplying the valley below your mountain-side villa with a cell signal, and this is to be your residence for 24 hours or more, it might be a good idea to go find another room somewhere, otherwise, no sweat if the room is missing a coffee maker, just put yesterday's cold cup in the window in the morning. (Just kidding - remember the inverse exponential rule, but still not a good idea to less than 50' in front of it. )
We use point to point for a grannie cam, 87 year old living alone who frequently falls who is 2 blocks away. When your local provider charges $80 for an Internet connection and you only need it for a single app like this, then that's nearly a grand you save a year by not having to pay your provider for their overpriced service, plus you eliminate all the hassles of setting up a VPN or whatever to ensure you maintain a private link from care giver to grannie. I have set this up for friends too and it's mostly to provide Internet in a remote building on a property, again without the telco/cable provider charging the extra full monthly charge for another drop.
i need to be able to monitor a wireless security camera at our barn from my house about 1000 feet across an open field. Hoping your system could work. Would you mind telling me how your system is setup?
Anything wireless is a big security risk. Thanks to Google(dark Net) anyone with an ounce of brain can hack, almost anything.
Anybody watching this in 2021 with a semi cheapy drone with 5 Ghz fpv and trying to stretch the signal ? Lol, is this show even still around? I remember this guy from way back when with the other older beach going dude.
It would be really helpful to see close-ups of the items in your hands. i.e. the pigtails and connectors.
This question was answered in a past episode actually (I can't remember which ep # though.) Patrick puts the tape on his MacBook because there are so many other MacBook users in the office, that way he always knows which one is his.
I just need something to get a signal in my garage 40 feet away. I just want to put a router in my garage and put an antenna or someone on the outside of the garage pointed at the house to get my signal. I wanna keep it cheap. I don't want to add extenders in the house, I just want to point that antenna at the house so I can have internet in my garage. How do I do it?
Blast from the past oh wow look at how far we've come in terms of technology from 7 years ago!!!
Instead of antennas, you just need to buy the ubnt.com nano station or nano station loco. The M2 is 2.4ghz, the M5 is 5.8 ghz. They are POE powered so that you can just run 50ft of CAT-5 out to your mast outside, and power them at the point they attach to your network. They will go up to the full legal limit on power and have a 45 degree beam for easy aiming. The best part about the 45 degree beam is that you can actually put multiple into a circular pattern and use alternating frequencies and get great frequency distributed bandwidth reuse.
Also, they have a simple Radio with an N-Connector on it and fantastically flexible antenna systems for WISPs. You can build out a significant, distributed WiFi system with this stuff. The devices are less than $100 a piece, and can run the open source router stack widely supported on many linux based WiFi radios/routers.
Hey Gregg, question I have rural Internet with Rise Broadband. I'm lucky to get just under 3mbps. Is there anyway to boost speed? the antenna is a little dish that sits on the peak of my roof.
Since they are in control of the other end, probably not. They may have just a "DSL" connection at the other end into the internet if it's a rural area. Getting large bandwidth out to the rural areas is always complex because of the distances between paying customers. That's why wifi is a common distribution mechanism in those areas.
I think it's interesting that rural power companies are not putting wireless radios up and down the roads, on the power polls, using inductive power transformers to create high speed networks for their power customers.
+Gregg Wonderly my company service small rural communities. Msg me if you're interested
i just use a powerline that connect my main router (when the signal starts) to my second old router that receive the signal and spread it in the other rooms resulting in a full connection in my entire house.
The signal would die off before it reached the destination. Cat cables are only rated to about 300'.
In your video you asked for comments on how your viewers use point to point wireless links. I integrate and install various WiFi in-building, as well as point to point links between a campus of buildings. One example, a mega church I do business with has an external service maintenance and equipment garage about 3000' from the main building facility on the edge of the property. Recently a high dollar in materials left next to the garage over night were stolen. They have contracted me to install 2 new external surveillance cameras at the garage, along with a WiFi capability inside the garage. Since there are no provision to cost effectively run cat cables to the network in the main building, I will be installing wireless link using a set of WiFi bridges.
So, my cousin bought a booster from China, they don't care about such laws, and now he has normal speed wifi 2 miles from home, it isn't densely populated though, more small town like than city.
can you tell me the brand ? I'm interested
Arturo Cardenas No clue, don't think it matters at all though, just Google some, it's more about Db power.
Gabi Koonings
Google what exactly ?
Try something, you'll likely find something you're looking for.
You can't tell me it's that hard.
what ever happened to leo? its cool to see patrick still is around doing his thing. Does anyone remember the "screen savers" that was a while ago...

What is the easiest way for me to get wi-fi in my barn? House is about 100 ft away & we are on Century Link service dsl.....
Once I brought the x6 nighthawk router and plug in anetgear link 3000 ft was no problem it download it on my shield with easy pPeezy
I need help getting my ps4 to get 150 feet of range to pick up wifi
Me too
I moved WiFi through a canyon about 1.02 mile using TP-Link devices. I suspect there was a less costly solution.
Right on!
Imma just create a 10.000 watt wifi hotspot in my city. Come at me gov.
RevolutionV12 Good luck with that. You'll need a twenty pound device with that containing about 10 ultra expensive vacuum tubes and the power supply and chassis to match, mounted on your roof to make it happen.
RevolutionV12 thats gonna cost you 9,636 dollars a year bro have fun with that
***** charge people for WiFi.
***** do everything to reach maximum lulz. Disregard currency and females.
+RevolutionV12 I live in Canada. You don't need to say that here XD
TP-link also has some fine long-distance devices. I used equipment to move WiFi through a canyon about 4.4 miles.
what is TP-link model ?
ak bdr ; WA5210G is the model. I'm actually using five at the ranch, and I am very happy with them.
Shhhwahht! 4.4 miles! Mind explaining your setup?
Ur lying

@19may0001 connecting to a public hotshot may cause the target to know exactly what you are doing. Especially when on bank accounts.
I love approximately 100 yards from my work which has free WiFi, but the signal doesn’t reach to my home so is there a way to connect to my work internet from my home?
Great video tnx for sharing. I subbed and
liked ! Greetings from the Philippines!
how far are normal Wi-Fi signal can go from your house to your other Neighbor House
I get better distance with less power and greater penetration when I use a Omni. I have both a grid and yaga and a few other antennas and nun of them beat the Omni with a reflector
***** I do not understand "
Christopher"
What do you mean by " Omni with a reflector"?
What's the model number please? So I can find on eBay, thanks.
camelotrooms Omni also called a omni directional antenna is the standerd antenna used on old wireless routers a reflector is a large peace of metal such as aluminum or copper the 2 best in a shape the curves somewhat to the way the type of antenna you use dus to bounce and consintrate the freque I cant just give you a antenna model and a reflector as they are all different but doing research on the internet should lead you thear. if you have a long distance to travel I would look at getting a yagi with a grid reflector but its very hard to aim. and rember when using wifi every thing in the way cuts the signal strength in half and if you are going across water like a lake then you can travel farther distance do to the fact water acts like a reflector. and I recamend a booster or repeater with a good antenna, the law limits the power but if you search you can find boosters that go above the regulations.ut should not need them if you do enuff messing around and learning. also a new standered is out for wifi its called 802.11 ac it has greater distance but rewuires a computer that can connect and a roughter that broadcast in ac. any more questions please ask I will try to help. and if money is not a prob the world is the playground.
I need only 650 feet from my apartment to the garage -- BUT there's an apartment building in the way.. so line-of-sight is not realistic for me.
Would've been better getting straight to the point of what this device is supposed to do. I'm more confused here than elsewhere.
Thanks for the Radio Labs mention. Wow, they have some interesting stuff.
It's good seeing Veronica's smiling face again.
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Ayden Fisher Instablaster ;)
trying to get wifi to my disconnected garage. which is 50 ft from the house. Any suggestions?
I would like to know if you can use a yagi antenna on a android tv box which is not network connected. ( hard wired ) in any way just a wifi signal from 500 feet away.
Year 2017 month October. What are Title 47 regulations within EEEi 802.11 ac Hz?
I would bet money your neighbors are going to really love you, for the free WiFi.
passing a wifi signal through the neighborhood from mom's house so I don't have to pay for internet at my house
i have live in a 2 stort 3000 sq ft home. My router was installed on the rear 2nd floor.( i intended for this to be a movie room). I found that i had a weak Wi-fi signal so I purchasea the netgearcable modum CM1000 with orbi RBR50 with two satellites, one one the second floor and a second on the front of the house first floor. I am hoping to io improve my wifi signal to the front of the house. would the Bullet bridging system that you spot lighted on your webcast today work?...thxs love the show..
All the tutorials I am finding are basically for extending wifi range horizontally. I want vertical solution. I want to put the device on the roof of a building and all the apartments below get the wifi signal without needing to have any other device except their built in wifi in laptop.
Is this possible? How?
Thanks
+Muhammad Bilal use wireless access points.
I have WiFi hotspot near me but have to be near home to get it .how would I get this WiFi as far as say 200 yards away
look up 24 dbi parabolic antenna.. mount it on your roof and point it directly at the location you wanna steal, I mean borrow the signal!
Thk u for this great borrow
I have a wireless security camera system and I have 2 cameras about 30-40 yards from my house. The problem I’m having is sometimes I have a good video and sometimes I have no picture at all. Would a WiFi booster be any help? If not, what are some options to help illuminate this issue?
RF is anywhere between 3k and 300 G which includes WiFi
OK. I know this is basic to some people and I'm in IT. But I have never ever needed to extend WIFI ''çross country'' before. My gig is to setup mobile container homes in remote area for tourists but they all want internet. Farmers have landlines but no way of getting internet to the best spots..eg.rivers, mountain tops etc. so I needed to know the basic. I was thinking old school ''microwave'' and knew it had to be directional.. but if its already been solved I'm saved.
Holy shit......was't this guy on Screen Savers with Leo back in the 90's? He looks familiar.
I just want to boost my wifi from my downstairs to my upstairs bedroom. What's the best way to do that.
Oh my gosh!! Dwight from "the office" has a new job?
What's with the adipose and cyberman in the background?
Finnally an accurate way to do it cause here in the philipines wifi service is fucking slow
This was about distance - slow is a different topic
I would use something like this to give me free Wi-Fi from my own network why I’m up hunting in the mountains to know where to pick up a good Signal to still have Communications

Hey what cheap ruter can pas thru 5 walls ?
how far my router has to be away from my computer or tv to get better signal
How about whole house multiple floors??
Raise your Wi-Fi antenna in the clear area.
Please tell me how to increase my quadcopter's radio and wifi video range. Thanks!
My grandfather just chop down trees but I don't think it work
hi sir
i want to launch wifi in 500 km
sir Can you tell me what to device i want?
Arafath Ramseen a Tesla death ray device should suffice
+brett TurtlesHead It's pronounced "peace ray" lol
Pine trees. Pine trees eat wireless frequencies. They love it.
The biggest challenge of wifi is also chemicals and body of water. Having installed wifi into huge huge industrial complexes, Certain types of liquid including chemicals can block a wifi signal
Do you ever think you share the band?
iv got a quadcopter with a first person view camera that puts out Wi-Fi and I pick it up on my phone. the Wi-Fi range is about 50 meters, is there a way of increasing the range like extending the antenna from the camera
My router can support long distances and goes through walls
how do you block unwanted rf
And in part 2 how stretch your wifi signal of your mobile device to 3000 feet.
Otherwise this is useless
Wifi is a 2 way medium
RG-6u for wifi LMAO. better yet RG8u haha ham operators... I use Andrews 1/4" heliax for long runs up to 25 feet. anything longer if its a must i will use 1/2" heliax.
if its over 100' up a tower I use something like a tranzeo radio and run the cat5 down. lets see a 1 watt radio on say a 10 dbi antenna your erp is something like 3.5 watts? been awhile since i have done the math so correct me please if this is wrong.
what device do I need for improving wifi signal coming from my spectrum network(SpectrumWifi plus)any ideas?
line of sight is not enough for two wifi devices to get a connection. even if i use my expensive Asus rt-n66u with all three antenna's replaced with 9dbi omni antenna's and its transmit power set to max in software, outside my house, and i go out onto the nearby field, the farthest i can get from my house, before i loose my connection, is a good 120 meters(or about 400 feet) this is with no obstructions, and my laptop using an alfa AWUS036H with another 9dbi antenna on it.
so please do explain how you got over a mile with inexspensive wifi cards, and specify what router you used..
They didn't. For the that sort of distance you need to be using a dish. I used an old Sky minidish and got to about 1500 feet before running out of room. They are easy to put together yourself.
i would use a repeater placed around the place, use a wifi analyser for your phone and see where you can place them to still get most out of the signal, sure a booster MIGHT help, but i have my doubts about it working as well through walls as it does out in the open, i have a Asus RT N-66U with all three antenna's being 9db(not certain what measurement to use) and i still get rather shitty signal on the floor above, and with two walls in the way. but then again, most houses are built differently, for instance my house is lined with some kind of metal in the walls, severely killing any signal going trough it. but if possible, repeaters are a good option, not the best, but certainly good enough to cover a house properly.
Can't you just use a super long pigtail with a 5ghz 7dbi at the end of it then boost it with a plug in?
Zoid Burg could, but again, it depends on what building you are in, and how it was made, my building it would make little to no difference, unless i use a 10 meter pigtail, and place it near the staircase that leads up, but your building might be different, and as stated, it has to go through a floor, and at least two walls to reach y computer upstairs, and when it is as "fortified" as my building is, getting a signal through these walls is very hard. but you can see if you can get a repeater from a local shop, with a promise of returning it, or buying it if it works for the purpose you have in mind. if it does not work, then you can go the booster way, but again, i doubt it would work.
pesoen
Depends on how serious you are, it would only need to be 10m I assume if you're not prepared to drill tiny holes in an internal wall

What is wifi if it is not RF?
Most of the wifi is on 2.4 GHz with some on 5 GHz
(Just to let you know, my username is my Amateur Radio callsign)
How can I share wifi with my neighbor he lives about 20 yards from me
Try placing the access point / router in the window with a line of sight to your neighbor. If they can reach it, they can use an old computer, a router or a Raspberry PI (with 1 or 2 wi-fi adapters) to route it further into their house. Do check the terms with your ISP, though, as most ISPs may have rules against sharing your internet connection beyond your property.
Line of site is right!
Ucould have said go buy it.
kindly tell me any one wifi signal strong and increase signal strength App.
We are looking for a SIMPLE way to extend WiFi, why would we buy an almost $400 device for this!?
Because to extend the single in this fashion unfortunately the hardware isn't cheap. Even running direct fiber lines on overhead poles is very expensive. Thats why rural areas lack high speed wired connections in many areas.
From this source, they apparently claim running a foot of fiber ranges from 1-6 USD alone

Trying to get Wi-Fi in my barn it's about 200 ft or less. And project Wi-Fi out around the barn about 200ft. Please advise cheapest best option for this
Current Wi-Fi is in the center of our home and does fine through the sheet rock and the house siding is wood, as well as I have a Ethernet port that could be used to set up a antenna to the main router
The FCC has no enforcement arm.
what happen if someone create wifi feet about
over 9000!!!!! XDDDD felt being Vegeta for now XD
Hello. I'm trying to extend the wifi from my dad's house to my apartment building diagonally across a parking lot. It's not a clear sight line from his router to my apartment. The router is in the second room in his house and my apartment is kinda in the middle to the front of the apartment building (the back of the aprtmt building is facing his house) is there anything I can do ? I do not need anymore bills and def do not want to pay for wifi. Plz help
I think you're out of luck there, sorry. You'd need to get some powerful wi-fi transmitters and even then it might get really slow due to an apartment building having a lot of interfering wi-fi transmitters -- and most are in 2.4GHz band which has the better range of the two. Even if you get it to work, your father's contract with his ISP may not allow it.
Why do you need a line of sight? I believe Wifi is an RF signal. RF don't need line of sight.
me a few months of
Not tryna have the whole world use my Wi-Fi lmao
Lol here in Sweden i have 1200 MB/s up and down and i dont even have google fibre lol
Geez...i have 1100 MB down and 658 KB up XD
And we're talking about the most powerful company in Italy... T_T
You wanted to say 1200Mb or really MB?
oh sorry, i think Mb since in Kb they are 11614
good for you because at my place with phones, tablets and computers, i couldn't play well online games because of lag (and i modified correctly the QoS to grant me more bandwidth to try to overcome this issue) with a 7 Mb.
I Have 6000 MB/s Up and Down! LOL
higher wattage can amplify crap signals
Make your own homemade wifi signal booster for free.
thank you so much
Ive seen you guys before. Still grinding. Meanwhile Olivia Munn is an A List movie star. I mean wow, ya know..
TH-cam SCREWING WITH SOUND
why u have a "cross" on your apple ? wery intresting :)
I'm pretty close to the Rev3 offices, can I borrow y'alls? ;-)
With those antennas can you splice them into say a netgear router or do you need a special router to hook them to?
it depends if the original router antennas are removable. usually routers with removable antennas have RPSMA or RPTNC (RP = Reverse Polarity)
Also you want to keep coax runs as short as possible unless you have no other choice and you want to stay away from using adapters and alot of "pigtails" as you will loose signal both RX and TX. if your router has built in antennas or perminately mounted antennas then you can mod it but you need experience with soldering on SMC circuits and such which is next to impossible with tools bought from say radio shack lol.
My suggestion is to obtain a router like the linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt firmware off ebay. they cost like $30 maybe cheaper if you find one lower. The changed firmware allows you to turn the router into a repeater and do things like adjust the RF power and set the antennas diversity (One to RX and one to TX) also this model router uses RPTNC connectors.
Thanks:) that helped alot i might try my luck at modding. I love to rip stuff apart and make it work better. Im decent at soldering. Sounds fun to me so ill give it a shot. Again thanks for the help:)
ok well just be careful. you need a small fine tip on a low wattage iron ans small diameter solder best to use a silver solder type to do surface mount soldering work. also a multimeter in continuity beep mode to make sure you don't create any shorts on the antenna leads.
I love your videos but what I am trying to figure out how to do is subnet a home network using residential equipment. ow can I set it up so I have a main household network say 192.168.10 and a home office network say 192.168.20. how can I set up the network so that the office network router can get to the internet trough the main gateway router... No one is doing any videos on how to build sub networks with residential equipment and there are thousands of us out here that are begging for some one to show us the way...
Joe Watson Maybe because it requires years of experience and training?
ok just let me cut down some trees and knock down some buildings
MesNeyBar Raise the antenna, it's much cheaper. 50' towers are allowed in most non-homeowners-association neighborhoods.
