I’m trying to set up a remote station (solar power) and need to get my wifi network to it. Distance should not be a problem but it seems that i can not build a decent antenna for 2.45ghz… i’m using a wrt54gl ap and plan to use a doublequad antenna on the pi.
I have build 5differnt typs of antennas for the ap but non of them ist working better than the stock ones…
This is the last one… dimensions are from an instruction and according to that it should work very well.
I even build a moveable active element for tuning but this thing is just rubbish.
Can anyone give me a good working manual with metric dimensions
Can you post the dimensions of the reflector, driven element and first director of the Yagi? Judging from your feet on the floor , to my untrained eye, it looks like the dimensions are wrong for 2.4Ghz.
It may be simpler to use a 5Ghz wifi setup. I am in a denser area and see a dozen 2.4Ghz wifi SSIDs on a laptop inside my house.
I see hardly any 5Ghz SSIDs. There are also many more non-overlapping channels on 5Ghz. You probably wouldn’t even need a directional antenna.
Andrew has some great videos on dimensions, and beam antennas. His store looks to be zero stock, but maybe if you write him he’ll make a custom set for you. I have one of his biquad yagi’s and it works great.
