Hi all,
I purchased two LinkSys WRT54GS wifi routers to set up a wireless bridge
between two houses, the distance is about 340 meters, there are some oak
trees in the line of sight.
I am considering to buy two parabolic antennas from Stella Doradus, but
I am not sure how much gain I need to setup a stable wifi bridge:
<http://www.stelladoradus.com/2.4para.shtml>
I noticed that the antennas with higher gain have smaller beam width, so
I think it is harder to 'point' them in the right direction and they are
less proof to movements (wind, etc.). Is that correct?
I am considering to get the 24 SD19 one, with 19 dBi gain, will it be
enough for my needs?
If I get an antenna with higher gain, just to be on the safe side, will
I have problems to 'point' it in the right direction or will the radio
signal be too 'strong'?
Please excuse my ignorance about this subject ...
What low loss cable do you recommend? Is the LMR400 a good one?
I think the Linksys wifi router has a RP-TNC connection, but I am not
sure about the Stella Doradus antenna, any idea?
Where can I buy a couple of short cables (e.g. 30 cm) already with the
right connectors installed at the ends?
Thanks a lot.
