Yes, it's possibly one approach but not ideal because any aerial lead is quite lossy so you often lose in the aerial lead what you gain from putting the aerial outside. That's why it makes much more sense (from the point of view of maximising the signal) to put the WiFi electronics in the box with the aerial (so minimal tranmsission loss) and using a USB downlead to get the information to the computer. A USB lead is no problem up to five metres or so whereas an aerial downlead of that length will lose a *lot* of signal. -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
