Hello everybody! I want help with this:
- I want to buy this or this antenna and one adapter something like this. But i want to know it will be dangerous for my health? I wrote in this forum in one similar thread, and found this documentation. There is explained how we can calculate is it dangerous or no. But my english is not so good, and i can't understand almost nothing. So can somebody help me with that?
- I thing to use this antenna on the roof ( the distance from my room to the roof where it will be is like i don't know may be 3-4 meters max ).
I will appreciate your help really! Thank you in advance!

Unless you are pointing this antenna directly at your head and radiating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and you are most likely not going to suffer any ill effects.

You are going to suffer gain loss with a longer coaxial cable run no matter which cable you use. Some cables just have less loss than others.

Without knowing why you need to run such a high gain antenna on a client side wireless device I don't think we can help you very much. Seems you are either (1) trying to overpower someones WAP that is not your own or (2) trying to connect to a wireless service you don't own or have permissions to connect to in which case you will not find a lot of help here as those are illegal activities and are not supported by the fine gentlemen who run these forums.
