Ok whilest im still reading 3 books on the go (Jeff Duntemann's wifi guide , WDDD, and wireless hacks) i thought i would ask some more questions..
Apologies if there are still noobish..
Ive orderd my wireless nic card from ebay..
Link , It is running the Herms chipset and not the proxim one so hopefully it will be ok.. Comments? This guy was realy helpfull btw..
One other thing, the pci converter, on
http://www.fab-corp.com/ website they show 2 types of converter.. a cardbus on and a generic ricoh one which one am i after for my new nic?
The pig tail for this, i need an N type female right?
And when it comes to cableing... Whats the best low loss cable to use with this type of equipment? ive seen some LMR900 on fab corp again and it says "boasts an incredible 2.92 dB of loss for every 100 foot at 2.4 GHz!"
Is it my or is that alot of loss for 100foot?
And last but not least the antenna..
I was originaly thinking of fitting some type of yagi on a rotator on my roof, but after reading about radial patterns and not being able to find a real high Db yagi im thinking of looking for the highest Db omni i can find..
I just want to make the best possible range i can from my static location without having nasa on my roof.. anyone know of a 20Db omni? or is this unrealistic..
Any advice gladly welcomed...
