MackDiesel2010 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I have been looking for an antenna to exchange for the one that comes with my netgear router (MR814v2). Ours just barely covers my house, with a lot of drop areas. I want to go at least to the edge of my property (not big) with my laptop and stay connected. Anyway, the default antenna is advertized as 2dBi, so I want something at least 2x as powerfull (probably a 5-6dBi antenna). Where can I buy one (internet)? I'm hoping to spend less than $40.00, preferably the cheapest :) . thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xer34 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 it depends on the type of antenna you want. if you want a directional, youll have to make it yourself to keep it under $40 (or ebay). however if you want an omni, it will cost you bunches of cash, much much much less if you make it yourself though. and google if you want tutorials.. heres one site i used for making my cantenna out of a pringles can and some washers. :D have fun http://wardriving.com/antenna.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
