Re: Wireless antenna setup

Make sure your yagi is pointing to the right spot in both direction
and ELEVATION. Also, consider the cable length since it might
attenuate the signal to point that the advantage of a roof mounted
yagi would not be of any significance over a stub. If else fails, look
for a 1W wifi amplifier on eBay. And if you insist in an outdoor
(roof) setup with such amplifier, then consult FCC regulations if you
don't want FBI agents to come knocking at your door.

Cheers
