Extending Range of local WiFi Using a High Gain Directional Panel Antenna and Long Range USB WiFi adapter.
Describes a means of connecting your remote device (for instance a PC) to a fixed 802.11n/ac/ax WiFi network. The main WiFi access point is assumed to be located some distance away thus giving poor Tx/ Rx reception for client PC. The Omni antenna is therefore connected to a bidirectional amplifier with AGC to boost radiated signals (both Tx & Rx). On the remote site we use USB WiFi adapter connected to a fixed high gain directional panel antenna to boost both Tx/ Rx signals.
