Long range wifi - eviltoast

Pretty sure I could build this long range wifi attenna.

Found this other neat little box that apparently lets you access wifi 2.5 miles away… Not sure how this would be beneficial, but it does look interesting as well.

    In addition to the other comments, you’ll want to be sure you’re paying attention to FCC (or whatever the regulatory body is for your region) regulations.

    This looks to be using standard size antennas, which says to me that it’s upping the power output. It’s my understanding that the FCC is super intense about enforcing maximum power output limits.

      Yup. This seems like playing with fire to me.

      Although I suspect that in Wi-Fi frequency bands it would be harder to get caught. You mostly would just be messing up everyone else’s Wi-Fi in that area.
