(OT) WiFi Antenna.
 

This morning I plugged in my phone and I phoned that toll free number 1
800 647 1800 at www.MFJEnterprises.com

Today makes exactly three weeks since I ordered my MFJ Wide Angle High
Gain Antenna.The lady on the phone said I can expect my Antenna to show
up here in about a week to ten days.

Oh well, I am not in a hurry anyway.I don't know what I will do with the
Antenna when it does get here.

You've been waiting 3 weeks in that free market of us, and that's hell of a
long time. You'd better not had a free will to order it ... ;-)

Why would you buy a WiFi antenna from MFJ? It's one of the few things
they sell that they don't manufacture.

I much prefer to spend my money here in Mississippi whenever I can, for
thingys I buy.I will not cancel my MFJ WiFi Antenna order.Heh,
yesterday, from www.si87.com (in Bozeman,Montana,,, I lived in
Bozeman,Montana for about six or seven months in 1956.The guy on the
phone at si87.com said he was born in Jackson,Michigan) I ordered an
adapter thingy for my computer monitor.I love Montana, but it gets a
little too coolish in the Winter time in Montana to suit this auld
Southern boy.

I ordered one of those MFJ antennas last week and got it in 4 days! The
problem now is getting the right cable to adapt it to my wireless hub.
Antenna has an N connecter, hub has one of those tiny coax connectors.

Phone MFJs toll free number.Maybe they can fix you up with the proper
cable or connector, whatever.

What are you guys doing with those antennas?

I suggest a $10 Pringles Can Antenna.

Good luck with that.


I stand corrected. The $10 beef stew can antenna is much better.

I use it to shoot my network signal over to my neighbor's house. We
split the DSL bill. Signal is 'okay' with a Dr. Bott antenna, but this
should do even better. I've also seen homemade directional WiFi
antennas using a tin can, but I'm lazy!
A corner reflector / Yagi type would be a good distance antenna. Very
directional with good gain depending on the number of elements with a
simple match to a driver dipole element. Most just use a one element
reflector so you lose off the back end.

I've read that Pringles cans were recently changed and will no longer
perform well for WiFi antennas..


There's some confusion, to be sure. I think you're supposed to use the
short Pringles can, not the full size one.

Knowing what I know about this type of antenna, it will not be easy to
tune and the antenna pattern is likely to be very sloppy. A home made
Yagi stands a much better chance of performing better.

Too much directivity for WiFi would not be good unless you were aiming
for a link between two distant stationary points. If you just want to
"splash" your WiFi out over a wide area, neighbors house for example,
high gain with a broad lobe would be better - I.E. flat panel.

I agree with your statement but I think the OP was looking for an
extended link. The encryption level better be high if one was to spread
the wifi signal around.
