Thinking of picking one of these up for an RV and maybe while traveling it will allow for interesting experiment with free wifi connections to not have to use streaming data as much. I would like to know if this will attach to my router from the antenna so I can use it with all my devices? Where I am moving,cable is super expensive but looking at the map,there are several FREE wifi places. Will this work for what I want?
Thank you BOB. Good question, Parker. I guess these long range WiFi antennas really are long range. I can see why these would be popular with boaters and campers as everyone wants WiFi today.
However, while this blog says the equipment is insulated against moisture, etc. How does it do against things such as high winds? This is neat how the device increases your wifi signal. Does anyone know how cell phone boosters increase signals?
While people will probably forever debate whether or not they want electronic devices with them when they go camping or boating, I see a good amount of people who seem attached to their Wi-Fi devices.
This appears to be the small miracle techies have been looking for when they need their Wi-Fi to reach out wherever they may be, come rain or shine. Cart 0. What do they do? Principle of Operation. What exactly is IPX5 water proof protection? Works with normal wireless router. Built-in router. Fully plug and play. Power over Ethernet PoE. Start with a cold oven. Let cool. Step 2: Take your tin can and measure halfway and draw a vertical line around the can.
Cut the can in half leaving the entire bottom intact, you need it that way. Now cut a hole in the back of the can in the center at the top of the ribs. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit the female end of the extension cord. Drill a hole in the bottom of the can so that you can attach it to the satellite dish. If your CD is cool then bend the can open and hot glue the parabolic CD to the can with the hole of the disk and the hole in the back of the can line up.
The length of your boards is dependant on your dish, make sure that it is as long as the widest part on the dish on every side to prevent tipping. Now line up the dish on the board a little farther back than the intersection at the T [looking back it would be more stable if you mounted it about halfway] and mark the four holes where the screws go. Pre-drill the holes.
Do not spray the front as it will interfere with the signal concentration. OPTIONAL: If you plan on mounting it to the roof of your vehicle, cut out a strip of carpet the size of all the points where the stand touches the ground and staple it to the bottom of the rig. Plug everything in and turn on the WIFI adapter. I use a program called Network Stumbler to find the best angle for the dish, it has a refresh rate of one second so I can watch the signal strength in near real time.
Once the correct angles have been found, close the program and connect with your default configuration program. Like My Instructable? Visit my blog! Reply 1 year ago. Reply 3 years ago. I didn't use it because I already had a usb adapter, and usb extension cord on hand.
If you do use the LNA take pictures and make an 'ible about it! By replacing it with the wifi antenna, you are able to transmit! Question 1 year ago on Step 2. Question 1 year ago on Step 3. I made one with the SS steamer basket attach to a doll holder Stand.
Password Must be at least 8 characters. Your antenna option will change the signal coverage. Whip is standard and covers For more coverage choose the larger Omni. The directional is for getting signal to a specific point. After purchase a team member will be in touch prior to shipping.

Yes, it helps tremendously. Pointing the outdoor antenna towards an area with tall structures, trees, and other obstructions will weaken service in that area.
So it's best to have an open line of sight with the antenna. It has a transmission power of 36 dBm and a maximum range of roughly feet again, this depends on the specific environment surrounding the antenna. This IdeaWorks unit prides itself on performing under harsh conditions outdoors, and can connect to hotspots up to 0.
The is also only compatible with PC systems, which is an obvious deal-breaker for Mac fans. This version of the CC Vector is intended to be mounted on a building; if you need a mobile solution, there is an RV-based CC Vector model available here.
Three miles is the effective maximum range, and would require truly perfect conditions; the company advises that feet is a more realistic range expectation. That still means that you could link up with a public WiFi network anywhere from a quarter-mile to a half-mile away from your location, and use that WiFi signal.
You could use the Vector to connect a distant outbuilding to your own WiFi network as well, but there are much less expensive options like the G that do that job equally well. The Vector will support up to Mbps on an At the foot recommended distance, the Vector can support two devices watching standard-definition video streams or several people surfing the Web.
Longer or shorter distances will of course provide lower or higher data rates. We're not just tech junkies, but we're also tech experts. Each and every "Best of..
