Wireless signals in this band are Line of sight.
An antenna with some gain will put more rf in the direction you want.

Subject: [BAWUG] range through brick house with yagi ???


Hi all,

I'm relatively new to the wi-fi scene, so if my question sounds stupid, I
apoligise....

I have a cable-modem at home, but a friend of mine who lives just a couple
of houses away, can't get it due to bad-cabling and stuff... So we set out
to establish a wireless link between his and my house but there are some
obstructions in the way;

a brick house....

The signal is sometimes able to penetrate this building but the link-quality
is always 0. Do you guys think if I use a Yagi antenna on both ends I will
be able to get a stable link?? How many wavelengths should this yagi be? Or
is it just impossible to penetrate a brick house with 802.11b ??

Both the AP and client-card are transmitting at 100mw (used to be 30, but
that increase in power didn't seem to improve the signal)

Thanx in advance,
Grtzz from Wilbert
(the Netherlands)
