However the end of my driveway is only about 80 yards from my house ,so my option may not be feasibleĬlick to expand.I wouldn't recommend doing that. I don't know if it has to do with obstructions at ground level ,or what, but every time I've done it the access point router is significantly cheaper and has a way weeker signal( but still it's transmission is the only one available at these further distances), so my deduction is that it being higher off the ground allowed for easier distance transmission to devices attempting to connect from further away. I found that when I would wait for my kids at the bus stop my iPhone would always reach for their router (the higher ap). Then I would get an old wireless n or g router and set it up as an access point, but I would always put it on the second floor or higher up. What I've found effective is a couple things, but the cheapest option that worked for me was to have a main router on my first floor ,with a direct line to the streets coaxial cable, (meaning minimal connections from source to modem/router). For 100m range your options are limitless, from ghetto-cantenna, to cooking pot parabolic or DIY Yagi. Remember, this is just an antenna, so it has to be connected to a WiFi AP or router via coax and preferably have an amp along the way.ĮDIT: if you are on a tight budget, you can make your own antenna. Usually these cost in a ballpark of $50-60. The range is ~56km, so effectively you can transmit in 1-2km range without losses. ![]() ![]() There are even cheaper alternatives, like this TP-Link long range antenna: The maximum range is ~100km, but we've never used it at more than 20km due to signal loss. Basically anywhere where it takes some time to lay a fiberoptic line and people need internet now. ![]() We were using those for temporary links in rural areas (villages, remote industrial buildings, summer houses etc.). Those are used for direct line of sight point-to-point connections. Click to expand.Look up used 2.4GHz parabolic antennas.
