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.
