USB pringle antenna!

pr0t · 07-24-2005

I have a Linksys Wireless-B Network Adapter v4.0 that I posted about, I was curious if anyone could give me some suggestions; I have the adapter out of it's case which is very tiny, a pringle can, and lots of electronic stuff laying around(steroes,recievers,etc) any suggestions on an antenna i could build from these things, I ave thinking about putting the actual adapter inside the can and then solidering a sterdy piece of metal where the antenna is on the board...would something like that work

With a USB adapter, that's about the best way to do it. Place the adapter at the point where the 1/4 wave antenna would normally go. Search around. Some New Zealand guys have done quite a bit with USB adapters, and the links are on these pages.

I went to those links and they are no longer current, do you have any pages that you know that clearly articulates how you get the connection from the usb port to the wifi card?

thank you
