Just purchased a linksys WAP200 to link another friends house into our network club but after testing today the signal strength was poor and it's obviously because there's a house that's in between blocking the signal :)

If it was LOS it'd be excellent strength as the house is only 70m away so i'm assuming I need to mount the antennae high to go over the house???

I still need to jiggling positions to see if there's a better place but short of bulldozing my neighbours house are their antennae extensions I can obtain to mount it outside up very high?

can get cables made up as long as you need them, but the shorter the better.

Are you saying that you can make them or that I can get them made up somewhere? Would 2m be too long?

You would be using directional panel antenna??




Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

omni directional's arent very good you want a directional antenna.  Before shelling out some $$ for one perhaps try and convert your omni into a directional http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/
