![]() ![]() If I do a dongle in the LNB, can I connect it to a USB on a router? That should condense the Tx and Rx of the dongle and then send it to the router for local network? Or is the USB just there for router configuration purposes? Speed isn't an issue the source is only DSL, I'm just looking for reliable connection over a bit more distance. I have looked into cantennas and they are a possibility, but not really easy to set up inside and they look like a lot of calculations for maybe 15dbi if you don't screw it up, when I could get 24dbi with an exterior dish. I don't know how to make sure that is the case when I buy a repeater. one antenna does Tx and Rx for the wifi rebroadcast, and the other antenna does Tx/Rx for drawing in the source signal and sending back. I would need one that is Tx/Rx and Tx/Rx for each antenna. I was thinking of getting a different repeater with two antennas extending the one antenna to the dish somewhere up high and the other antenna on the side of my shed with the box inside the shed, but it would have to be the right configuration: That is to say, the antennae on some boxes are Tx/Tx and Rx/Rx. I tried some homebrew ideas like setting up a stainless mixing bowl behind the router and that didn't seem to help. I have a good Netgear N router at home which I could use. My current extender is a Netgear (label came off so I can't tell you the model) with just network ports on the back, no USB. I want to have Tx and Rx back to the Nano and a wifi broadcast for our few campsites. I have seen some where you just use a USB wifi dongle and put it in the LNB, but that would only work for one device plugged into the USB, unless I could plug the USB into a wireless router and get it that way. ![]() I have an old satellite dish and wanted some ideas. I maybe get lucky once or twice a day and my phone goes nuts with notifications and I scramble to reply to emails while I have a blip of connection. I bought a cheap repeater (internal antenna) but the problem is that it doesn't receive enough signal to reliably get an IP. ![]() The lodge is about 1000' away and there are a lot of trees and a small hill between my trailer and the broadcaster. Up here at the lake, there is a "nano" booster at the lodge. Instead of reviving a zombie thread with old ideas, I wanted to revisit my need for a wifi repeater. ![]()
