Default Help with Wifi antenna

Jerry, I was thinking you would come back and say a bridge is the
same as a
usb wifi adapter, but I guess not. Have you looked at my drawing I
sent you?


In a nutshell, a bringe in the wi-fi sense as you should get, is a box that
has an ethernet adapter and a wi-fi adapter. It is kinda like a WAP, but
backwards. It allows you to use an ethernet device like your computer, on a
wireless network using its ethernet connection. You would want to use that
as you can locate the bridge at the antenna, and connect your computer to
the bridge with as long as an ethernet cable (up to 330 ft though) as you
need. USB would be quite limited.
