Wireless connection between my wifi dish and my PC?

Question

I want to get rid of the funky 4 foot coax that connects my PC to my dish. Been doing some reading and find out this si not that easy (Maybe IP conflicts etc). I have no less than 12 access points in my neighborhood. I can decide which point I connect to at will with the coax. I would like to get rid of the coax and still be able to use this feature. Any ideas from those of you who know?

Answer 1

It sounds like your doing "long range wi-fi" using a coax cable and a directional antenna that's connected directly to your computer. You could try a standard antenna that doesn't use coax and see if you can still get connected to the networks you want.

A much more difficult and complex option is to buy a Linksys WRT54GL, install DD-WRT firmware on it, and run it in Repeater Bridge mode with the directional antenna attached to the linksys. Your computer would then connect to the Linksys through a network cable or through wi-fi, whichever you prefer.
