If you are trying to use cable tv cable you will need an F to SMA adapter. If you are using a WiFi router this is where your antenna cable goes and network cable connects to from your pc.
If you are using a WiFi card in your pc, this is where your SMA connector will be, which is where your antenna is connected. I have another type of WiFi adapter that I use. It connects to my pc by usb and offers up to 27db gain. I can easily connect to a WiFi network 1 mile away with just the antenna that comes in the package. With this antenna hack antenna, I should be able to connect to a WiFi network at least 10mi away. I live in the country and built this antenna 2 yrs ago, and haven't paid for internet service since.
It's very directional and narrow beam but can pick up routers up to 20 miles away. Handymac10, how are you connecting to your PC? Very new at this and would appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank you. Please suggest one thing - Can I use it on my wifi receiver to receive signals from my friend house's indoor wifi router. His house is at 1 mile aerial distance and we have pretty good line of sight to each other's house. And vice versa for outgoing waves. That was the simple version Aaron That's like building a gun without understanding anything of explosives How do you hook up the coax cable to system i am having troubles figuring this out please help me.
I can be e-mailed at ronandmistyramer yahoo. Are you using your Dish indoors,or out? I will try and shed some light on the subject as it seems the author of the video may have abandoned the comment feed,. As for the comment about the distance of the feedhorn being relative to the frequency alignment,. In theory you are correct, it would be intensley important had he been transmitting in that frequency range, However I believe he built this for reception only therefore his wrong distance will only result in a lower db gain, however if my calculations are correct he was recieveing a 24 db gain, witch is a very good gain and can result in a much needed distance boost.
If your unsecured wifi is leaking out all over the place, how will you know who is using it? Save yourself from a lot of useless stress and useless lawyers.
I took it to Seattle Laptop and got the max memory for it then took it home here to setup for him. I was surprised that it had no problem finding a lot of free Internet selections so I bought a Edimax wifi card for my Dell Dimension and an antenna for it.

Try that first. Otherwise a USB wireless adapter will do the trick. Thanks for helping…. I just want to know that, with turned off computer m I able to use this wireless internet services on my cell phone through usb wireless network adapter??
Like wired router. I have a desk top computer connected to the internet and I just purchased a I pad how do I connect the wireless router to my computer.
You connect the router to the internet following the instructions which came with the router. Instructions for that should also come with the router. I bought a used windows xp and I have hotspot on my phone and I bought a wireless adapter but I cant figure out how to get it off dial up.
I guess thats how previous owner used it.. In my former home, my desktop computer was DSL connected to the internet. I also had WiFi for my laptop, cell phone, etc. In my new home, I have broadband WiFi and my cell phone and laptop are happily humming along using the broadband WiFi. I now want to connect my desk top computer uses Windows 7 to the wireless features in my new home, to minimize cords, etc. After reading your helpful responses, I think I need to install a wireless adapter USB plug-in or an expansion card….
Is that correct? And where do I purchase an expansion card or the wireless adapter USB? The USB would be the easiest for me to use. Thanks so much for your excellent help! It just sees a network connection. That it happens to be wireless instead of wired is actually irrelevant, other than making sure the appropriate device is installed an has its drivers installed as well. Do I need something between the PC and the Hotspot?
I live in a building that has wifly how can I get that in my room on the 13th floor. I have their permission to do so. It depends on how many floors down the wireless router is located. A wireless extender would only gain you a couple more floors of coverage. Hello sir…I am using my neighbor wifi with my phone. Assuming you have your neighbors permission of course: there are Wi-Fi adapters you can get for a PC. What if I have a hot spot from my cell phone?
If I buy an adapter can it connect from my cell? We just moved and are a week without I found an adapter for 10 dollars I bought my daughter a game that can be pled offline but not downloaded offline. Will it work exactly like a tablet or lap top. I have bought a wireless adapter but when I put it in to connect It keeps saying detecting apapter. Do I need to do more than install the adapters cd. Any heelp appreciated newbie. Drill a hole in the bottom of the can so that you can attach it to the satellite dish.
If your CD is cool then bend the can open and hot glue the parabolic CD to the can with the hole of the disk and the hole in the back of the can line up. The length of your boards is dependant on your dish, make sure that it is as long as the widest part on the dish on every side to prevent tipping. Now line up the dish on the board a little farther back than the intersection at the T [looking back it would be more stable if you mounted it about halfway] and mark the four holes where the screws go.
Pre-drill the holes. Do not spray the front as it will interfere with the signal concentration. OPTIONAL: If you plan on mounting it to the roof of your vehicle, cut out a strip of carpet the size of all the points where the stand touches the ground and staple it to the bottom of the rig.
Plug everything in and turn on the WIFI adapter. I use a program called Network Stumbler to find the best angle for the dish, it has a refresh rate of one second so I can watch the signal strength in near real time.
Once the correct angles have been found, close the program and connect with your default configuration program. Like My Instructable? Visit my blog! Reply 1 year ago. Reply 3 years ago. I didn't use it because I already had a usb adapter, and usb extension cord on hand. If you do use the LNA take pictures and make an 'ible about it!

Hey I was wondering if this will work for catching the signal from a nvr for a security system and if so how would I broadcast the signal to 3 cameras would I need a router? I've built the antenna and the satellite but I'm having a hard time understanding this step: "Plug everything in and turn on the WIFI adapter.
Having a weak Wi-Fi signal can be really annoying and can happen with all brands of laptop, including the ones we listed above also other brands like Apple, Acer, Microsoft, Samsung, MSI and so on.
How can we solve this problem? In this article we will go through the different steps you can try and take to solve weak Wi-Fi, both with your laptop and with your home network. We will go through replacing or adjusting your hardware, software or the configuration of your home network as possible solutions. Powerline adapters are also a home networking product that can be used to solve weak Wi-Fi.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi signals can become weak when using laptops or other devices, leading to pages loading slower, longer download times and videos buffering. Sometimes it is because of faults or software issues with the laptop itself; other times it is simply down to the nature of wireless networks and so we need to separate out these two factors. Wi-Fi signals always degrade the further they get from the router, as per the inverse square law of physics, as we have covered in another article.
This is to an extent unavoidable, but sometimes there can also be things we can change with the laptop itself to get a better Wi-Fi signal. Sometimes the Wi-Fi card or antennae in the laptop are either not installed properly or have become damaged or misaligned because of dropping or knocking the laptop. This will show up most often if you have a weak Wi-Fi signal even when you are right next to the router, and if your laptop struggles to pick up wireless networks at all, even nearby ones.
Counter-intuitively, this means the Wi-Fi card is not doing Wi-Fi balancing anymore ie. Warning: any work you do on your laptop is at your own risk and you may void your warranty by opening up your laptop and attempting any repair work. The method shown in the video works in this case; before they could only get a partial Wi-Fi signal even right next to the source and picked up no other nearby networks.
After altering the Wi-Fi cards he was able to pick up full signal and also other nearby networks.
