old uhf/vhf antenna used for wi-fi?

I have an old roof-top mounted uhf/vhf antenna on home previosly used for TV. Is it possible to reuse this for a wi-fi antenna? If so, what would I need for cabling and connectors to hook it up?

No.

Same reason given in this thread, but you don't even have the correct impedance. VHF (2-13) TV is down around 25MHz-30MHz and UHF (14-83) is around 200MHz (I think, it's been quite a while.) In any even event, it is far from the 2.4GHz of 802.11b.
