The internet comes into the Netgear, and i have 2 wireless access points i can use.
I was planning on putting one in their house on repeater mode, and one on the edge of my house (closest to them)
however, i've been playing and the signal doesn't make it through the tree's. so i've now got a double biquad wifi antenna at my disposal
my questions are
Where do i mount the dish? (mine or theirs)
can i use this to transmit the wifi signal?
or do i need it to receive the wifi signal?
will the tree's at this short distance stop it? (i.e. does it have to be line of sight?)
I don't have the pigtail cable yet
I bought the biquad antenna off ebay, and it didn't come with a pig tail cable
What cable do i need to go from the antenna to the router/AP?
And what length does it have to be (i've seen 1 meter ones, but i'd need a lot longer than that if i want to mount the dish on the wall
What length can i get away with??
The above is my summary of what i THINK i need to do, however, i'm no expert at this so please explain a better setup with the equipment i have.
I'm in Africa, so parts aren't readily available, and I have to work with what I have
