ok, sorry, I see your plight now. ok back 2 square 1.
alright, back to thinking out loud 4 U, according to CWNA-CWNP the MOST directional wifi antenna is a parabolic. Now I'm just experimenting out loud/ aka brainstorming. but in so-cal you can get a bunch of used parabolic DirecTV or Dish Satellite dish. if I find one or two for free or next to nothing, I can probably ship it 2 U. The question is you've got 2 unproven problems, (meaning I don't have the answer to) these are passive parabolic dishes, (can only receive, that I know of) I don't know if they can transmit, (I've never tried it) also, you're gonna have to convert the coaxial fitting to the antenna fitting On 7/30/07, Jeffrey Kutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > My problem is that I have no high speed internet available in this > location.
