I need to set up a domestic WiFi network but
need a large range to cover half my street (long
story as to why). My current Netgear ME102 isn't
up to much with its fixed antenna.
The option I have is to buy an AP (ie D-Link
DWL2100AP) and an external - external antenna
(D-Ling ANT24-0500), priced at £77 and £69
respectively, total £146. Both use an SMA
connector.
Question: Is this a good combination of kit. I'm
relatively happy with £77 for the AP but £69 for
the antenna (8db gain omni) is a bit OTT. Can
I use another antenna with an SMA connector?
Forget multiple AP's and repeaters, I have 2 DECT
phones, a DECT baby monitor and at least two
other WiFi nets get into my house as it is.
