The Conetenna - a wi-fi antenna

Step 11 Fragile Shot

I didn't even notice untill I was re-sizing my photos that there's the word 'fragile' on the bottom box! If I had thought of it, I might have put something more entertaining like 'pirate radio' or something. Anyways, just beyond the fence is the light bushes I had previously been aiming through. For some reason I'm not getting as good a signal up on the roof! I normally set up the laptop in that RV, and run the antenna out a window to the edge of the fence. Maybe the RV is acting as a back-plane?

i can imagine the download but what about Upload speed ??

[Shadetree Engineer]

Uploads are a bit slower. The hotter connection from this location would allow me to upload a jpg resized for craigslist default - 300 x 225 pixel - 9~13 kb, in less than two minutes.

:D i wonder if the connection can be established with that low upload speed? cos i have also a coil antenna and i can get the connection 11III lvl but cant connect cos low upload.. but if i come close to modem i can connect :S

I had a connection, enough to access webpages. Do you mean you could get a signal but not connect? That is what happens when the modem-end has a hotter setup than the computer-end of your wireless network. What exactly is this coil antenna? - Like this? Or did you mean one like this? That last one would work a lot better than a range-extender type coil antenna. How far apart are you trying, with your adapter & access point?

Yes i could get a signal but not connect. the antenna is bi-quad but couldent find it on this site.. u can check google search.. im trying it with my notebook. the modem should be a regular Airties-205 wifi modem.i can get the rance about 3/5 signal but cant connect cos of upload.. i tryed with usb wifi antenna also.. and worse result... i think u have the idea like u said modem has an end point ant also the pc has.. so if i get the signal and cant sent back this means computers signal-end is the ptoblem..

Well, the computer end is where I would do anything first.
