I am setting up a wifi system. I want to shoot the wifi signal about 1000 feet and want to try a DIY antenna.
I can find plenty of info on building parabolic antennas, but I don't fully understand how everything should hook up and what is needed in addition to the antennas. For example, I have a cable modem at the origination point. Is it simply a matter of hooking up a router to the modem and then hooking the antenna up to the router? And what about the destination point? Do I simply buy a second router, hook it up to the accepting antenna? Are there amplifiers or other components involved ?
Thanks
