it should work fine
given the frequency and therefore antennas are far smaller
i would opt to step to larger like

20 Dbi gain and just 39 inches long

i think i need one, tired of paying!!!!!! I hope i dont need an omni as of now i dont know where the signals are coming from

I have used one just like that made by Cisco. We had a spare one at work, so I brought it home to play on my wireless home network.

Notice that the antenna is a yagi, with a whole mess of elements. That makes it is very directional, with a real narrow "beam". They're basically made for connecting two distant buildings together. Once the buildings are connected, you would use some other omnidirectional antenna for the computers on the distant lan.

When I was playing with it at home, I was trying to see what kind of signal I could get on the other side of the house. The problem was that the beam was so narrow, that there was literally only had a couple of feet where I could position my notebook to stay in the signal pattern. If I took a step sideways either way, it was out of the pattern and I couldn't get on the network.

If you don't know where the signal is coming from, this will certainly help you find it, but once you've done that you need to bridge that network into something else local for it to really work good.

ok the plan is to point this across the lake where there are lot of houses....the more distance the pointing will become slightly less critical (i think)........once i have a couple locked signals on my wireless router then i will link my other computers.....will this work?

 

[BOOTY MONSTER]

are you trying to tap into someones wireless router system for their home computer by catching a signal and taking advantage of the %90 of people that never change their router password from administrator ?

what a P O S !!!!!

 

[funbiz99]

absolutley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why should everyone have to pay for something thats there for free

 

[funbiz99]

and why am i taking advantage?

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

and why am i taking advantage?

Because they are paying for it not you.It's not "just there for free". Basically it is the same thing as stealing cable except you are stealing internet access.I'm not bashing you for doing so but just answering your question.

 

[funbiz99]

i happen to disagree....if the cable companies didnt have a monopoly where i live i wouldnt have to take it for free.. this goes for the dsl here also...to get dsl you have to subscribe to a land line. why because they have you by the balls...they have the take it or leave it attitude...i rather take mine for free than bend over with some ky and let bellsouth play hide the salami with me.

 

[BOOTY MONSTER]

well..you already know its illegal . theres no monoply . you know you have options..your just too lazy to work to pay for them .
i hope you get caught . guess what happens to poor lil geek boys behind bars ???? youll wish you had some KY and that it was only one "salami" .
