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?

Did you do the math?

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.
