Wireless transmissions, reflections (when wireless signals “bounce” off objects) and multipath (when wireless signals travel multiple paths to arrive at the receiver at different times) are as important as signal strength in determining the success of an installation. Getting a better wireless signal for my Genie Discussion in '. If the 44 is your only receiver then you need to use the CCK-W web portal to configure it. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk. Can I add a second WVB to my SWM wiring and my HR44 to extend range. Can the HR44 communicate thru the coax to 2 WVB's simultaneously?
[Scott] wrote in to us with his simple, but well done RF signal strength meter. As he points out in his post, sometimes an Arduino is overkill, so a Picaxe 08M was used instead. Apparently this was a refresh of a high school project that he did. Certainly many of us would have liked to go to that high school!

I checked the source and basically tried to copy the schematic from there. Just want to make sure i got right http. Wifi Signal Booster Schematic This antenna will extend the range of your WiFi or 2.4GHz devices (like surveillance Second, could I use this on the router as well, or is it only to boost the receiver located at the computer.
Radio Receiver Circuit
An interesting part of this project is how he used a laser cutter to produce his PCB traces. This was done by applying black paint to the copper on his board and cutting everywhere he didn’t want copper traces. The results were quite good, and should work well when this project is finalized in an enclosure
Check out the video after the break to see this circuit in action. He explains the build in it, but if you just want to see the signal strength lights come on, fast forward to around 2:25.
Wifi Signal Receiver Booster
I have a possible project that I would like to work on and need some advice/input. My work blocks things like personal email accounts, gmail calendars, etc. It's very frustrating when I'm working technical coverage (engineer) during a start-up process on the night shift (12am-8am). I really don't get a lot done during this period and I'm just there in case anything goes wrong and it's extremely boring 99% of the time. I just bought a laptop and was trying to get creative as to how to get internet access without going through my work (secure) connection. I've already explored tethering from my iPhone and I'm still considering it, but it will probably severely limit bandwidth or it will cost a fortune.
I work approximately 4.1 miles (LOS) from my apartment. I live on the top floor (3rd floor) and my balcony faces directly towards my office. The only thing between the two are trees mostly. I'm wondering if I can get something like a wifi high-gain, low loss, directional antenna connected to my router. I've found one that claims over 6 miles with low LOS issues:

It's actually relatively affordable if I can pickup the signal from work using just my standard internal wifi adapter in my laptop. Or another small adapter booster to help pickup the signal.
Does this sound feasible? Any flaws in my plan? Will the tree coverage between points cause a massive/small signal loss? Will my existing internal laptop adapter pick up the signal? Will the antenna only work in ideal weather conditions?
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!
