Hi
I have been reading through various posts about wifi antennas but haven’t found anything conclusive as to what the best product is for my needs. When in Europe I need something that will pick up unsecured or free wifi spots so I don’t necessarily know where they are. I think this rules out directional antennas. I therefore think I need an omni directional antenna. I have also learnt that the higher the DB gain the better. I have come across this Link Removed this is 15DB which seems quite high compared to some.
I also found this from the USA which sounds very good but would rather buy in the UK if possible
Link Removed
I reckon I can rig something up so I can clip it to the top of the rear ladder and then just run the cable through the window. Not ideal as I would prefer something permanently mounted but I don’t know if such a product is available that can be left up while you are on the move. I think the aerial is 2 meters long so probably unwise to leave it mounted.
I’m not fussed (within reason) how much it costs I just want it to work.
Any advice appreciated
