Hi there....I'm new.
But don't worry, i've done my searches and I think I have a general Idea of what I'm talking about.
So here's my dilema:
This summer I am setting up internet access at this island (its about 2 1/2 acres). Its gonna come in through this provider called SureNet. They provide wireless internet access, with antenna's on cellular towers. They will come and install it at the island. This involves putting a small square antenna on a post, and then providing us with the necessary hardware to convert the signal to ethernet.
My idea is to buy a Linksys wireless router and attach an omni antenna to it, so that the signal will reach the laptops anywhere on the island.
I made a little diagram....The star represents where the SureNet signal would come in, as well as where the external antenna would be located.
My question is, how much gain on the antenna would I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
