Hey Guys, Im new to the forum so I want to introduce myself and say hello. Hey Guys.

I live at the top of a hill and at the bottom are many different hotspots. The problem is that I am too far away to receive any of these. Some of them are businesses and others are just unsecure networks. I have a clear line of site.

Anyway, Im in the very early learning stage of wifi knowlege and very unfamiliar of how it works beyon basic fundamentals. After reading a lot on how to extend range I find that most solutions call for additional hardware on both the recieving end and the router end. Because of the situation I have no access to the router end.

Now I have read about reception improvement hardware but im unsure about the spesifics. I am confused about high gain antennas if they are supposed to be used on the router end or the recieving end.

So basically my question is: what are my options?

Is there anything that I could just aim directly at a hotspots location and get a consistant feed?

What type of range am I looking at considering the hotspots are using normal routers?

What type of hardware should I be looking at?


Thanks a lot guys.

Bye bye
