Long range WIFI Antenna(biquad dish): What wifi/network card to use?
 
So come may i will have my seasonal camp site open for me, i will be spending much time there but i am worried about the intnet in the area, that it wont have the stability i am accustom to. so after doing a little research i found i can build a few difrent forms of Internet Antenna's that can lets say, give me the edge in the area. So i feel quite capable of making one of these however i am not sure as to what card i should get that will be easiest to attach the antenna to(and reliable) , suggestions?

there is a place out in annacis sp? island, that sells wireless components. but we are talking like industrial. i remember getting a 2ft 2.4Ghz antenna from there years back when i was testing out building to building wireless.

the hardest part was getting the hardware fittings. i ended up mashing a wireless card to use the fittings to test. worked though! went from 2 wireless networks to 11 detectable in the area. it was a weak signal, but could get it up to about 3 blocks or so.

isnt that in chilliwack (i hope) but i think i found a better easyer way, bascialy you put a usb wireless stick in a tin can, and then mount it in any tv satellite dish as if it were an lnb, supose to work really well. water proofing may be hard.

Is this point to point or point to multi point

they have a mix of both, http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Antennas/WiFi/ i just found yesterday it has all the info about them, and how to build them, and how easy it is, instead of making the biquad antenna all i need is a old satellite dish, a coffee can or metal cylinder and my usb wirless N stick(wifi stick works too)
