CavityCr33p Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I've been using this method for 2 years with my parents/grandparents. Got me a nice yagi antenna, hoisted it onto of their store building and surf away. Im probably a few thousand feet, with another apartment in the signals way, going through lots of brick and I still get 100% link quality and 64% singal strength. All I have is the D-link 520+ stock antenna on my pc and I still get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erf Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm amazed that people dont just buy wifi routers and make a Wifi access point for the whole street if they pay like get 5 good connections (2mbit) and thats all you will ever need :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have the same thing going on over here, across the street, which I am pretty sure is the souce of the connection I am getting has a girl near my age, and I want to get on their network but need to get closer, but can't do so, lol. I dim the laptop screen and it is still bright to notice if I were to go across the street to get a stronger connection and ****, haha. Not like I really care though. I am actually going over there sometime today, I promise the guy that I'd come over and network their computer since he said he has had problems with his sons computer access the internet, but the daughters is fine, hoping that this is actually the source, not like it matters, lmao.
