improve your 3g broadband dongle signal

[daithi]

heres how ya can improve your signal for 20 euro

first make sure dongle can support an external antenna

yal need this to connect to dongle may vary for some dongles but will fit most $2.20 - RP-SMA FEMALE to CRC9 Adapter Cable (15CM-Length) - Cables & Adapters (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/rp-sma-female-to-crc9-adapter-cable-15cm-length-55723)

if your dongle doesnt support an external antenna ya can use this http://www.solwise.co.uk/3g-datacard-to-antenna-adapters-adpt-026.htm
ya can probably find cheaper ones if ya look
heres one http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=300423880478&Category=61816&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2

then this cable upto antenna

10 m $9.30 - Wi-Fi Antenna RP-SMA M-F RG178 Hign Frequence Extension Cable (10M-Length) - Networking (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/wi-fi-antenna-rp-sma-m-f-rg178-hign-frequence-extension-cable-10m-length-39664)

6m $6.41 - Wi-Fi Antenna RP-SMA M-F Connector Extension Cable (6.0M-Length) - Networking (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/wi-fi-antenna-rp-sma-m-f-connector-extension-cable-6-0m-length-34651)

3m http://www.dealextreme.com/p/wi-fi-antenna-rp-sma-m-f-connector-extension-cable-3m-length-34650

and antennas theres 2 to choose from either will do

$15.80 - 2.4GHz 16dBi Directional High Gain 16-Unit Antenna for Wifi/Wireless Network (RP-SMA) - Networking (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2-4ghz-16dbi-directional-high-gain-16-unit-antenna-for-wifi-wireless-network-rp-sma-33016)

$21.51 - 2.4GHz 100W 18dBi Directional High Gain 18-Unit Antenna for Wifi/Wireless Network (SMA) - Networking (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2-4ghz-100w-18dbi-directional-high-gain-18-unit-antenna-for-wifi-wireless-network-sma-34759)

just point antenna at wherever the nearest mast to your house is for better signal

try keep the cables as short as possible as the longer they are the more signal loss


this will also work if ya use a wifi card for picking up wireless networks from other areas

Might just have a go at that biquad dish.

I've already got 4 accessible wi-fi sources, but a few more won't hurt lol.
Already got an old Sky dish (1m diameter) with the LMB stripped down. Although it might raise a few eyebrows if I point it in the wrong direction to every other sky dish.
