Thread: EZ-12 parabolic Antennae -- Does this really work!
ok -- admit did testing on windows machine, results should os independent
router: linksys 54wrtgs
goal increase router strength
antennae ez12 made aluminum foil "shiny side" pointing toward center of parabola: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects...te2/index.html
testing apparatus:
windows - network inssider: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider
netstumber used on linux install
measuring signal db: no difference antennae on or off. tried pointing parabolas in different directions. antennae, measuring device (inssider), or did mess up?? should measuring signal strength different way?
thanks.
i used @ previous job. leased suite in warehouse building , trying connect wirelessly. "windsurfer" did improve signal. still wasn't great there 3 other companies' warehouse spaces , 800 feet distance between us, including metal racks storage.
fact able connect more few minutes @ time improvement before using parabolic reflector, connect 20 30 seconds @ time. there distance , interference reliable.
