Do you work for Ubiquiti?
Nothing new you are doing there.


Hi Tony,

Two things I've always wanted to do:
1. Increase the range of my wifi signal *inside* the house
2. Connect to access points which are miles away

What I was documented is the first step, which is to increase the
range. The second step is to connect to an access point that is miles
away from that laptop.

I haven't done *that* yet, but, the potential now exists.

First, I had to be able to connect to an access point, period.
It took me a long time to figure out *how* to do that.

Now that I've done that, my *next* test is to see if I can connect
to my home broadband router from a couple of miles away.

It will be fun, to see if I can do that (but I need to find my inverter
because this particular solution requires 120volts).

I'll report back if/when I'm successful.


There's a store in Chicago that specializes in DX WiFi. They are called
3gstore.com They also have forums for wireless hacks. Very busy boards.
