Default Homebrew wifi antenna coax adapters

I'd like to know more about how well your extended range WiFi performs.
What type of antenna seems to be the most effective?
Why did you decide to not use a reverse SMA adapter like ShowMeCables
sells for about $5.00?
How do you measure "signal loss" to within a dB?

I'm taking the word of the wifi utility program, which appears to be
reasonably believable. Didn't know about ShowMeCables.


Hi Robert

I have been looking for "software" that provides read-out to show WiFi
signal strength. Can you tell me more about your "wifi utility program"?

I noticed that you intend to use a coax cable to connect the WiFi antenna
to the Computer. Would it be difficult for you to locate the Router or
access point at the antenna so the coax will be shorter?

Jerry
