===================================
Yes these cans work well ; the problem is the type and length of coax .
A suitable arangement is a WiFi router near the antenna (if necessary in
a wx proof box ) with an ethernet cat5 cable running to the equipment.

Another possibility is a USB WiFi adaptor in the focal point of a
satellite dish with a USB to ethernet converter.
