Wi-Fi connection bitween buildings

[Kumar]

Hi,

Myself and Hmasalia here want to set up a Wi-Fi connection between our homes using a couple of USB WiFi adaptors (like these) and a couple of DIY antennae (as shown here)
This is the whole idea in a Picture form

In the image,
1 = USB extention cable ([2+2] cables for 6 mts per side length)

2 = "Poorman's WiFi"- USB adapters & DIY cookware reflectors

Instructables "Poorman's WiFi"- USB adapters & DIY cookware reflectors!

3 = Netgear 111V2 Wireless 2.0 Adapter

IT-Depot

The whole thing should cost less than 2500/- including

2*WiFi adaptors = 2030
4*USB cables =~100
2*mesh utensil = no idea( may be 2*100)
So what do you guys think? Any ideas/suggestions etc.? Did you try anything like this?

I have no experience in it but the teacher who tough us 'Mobile Communication', told us that -

General antenna of Access Point can't do that. You need a omni-directional antenna installed with the same Access Point. It connects with your existing Access Point but the antenna is quite big and takes it own power supply.

If you visit D-Link's website, you will find omni-directional antenna.
D-Link DWL-M60AT 2.4GHz Directional Indoor Antenna
2.4GHz Omni-Directional 7dBi Indoor Antenna by D-Link - ANT24-0700

Specially
D-Link DWL-2700AP Wireless 802.11g Outdoor AP/Bridge
etc.

But! Havin read a issue wayback in Digit suggested that the model which Kumar n me are trying to set has a high sucess rate......

We will be using it for data transfer the most.........

n as for me little bid of free board band connection as well

LOL!

N may be playin games.... which most probably be unlikely........

i think the omnidirectional antenna is used in the acces spoints as the AP needs to RX and TX in all directions. Here we only have a point to point link via a ad-hoc n/w so i think direct6ivity is a + point. what say?

Hey kumar check this youtube video out YouTube - Getting a wifi antenna from pringless tube

These guys have created a coffee cantenna, which can be used as a signal booster to connect between two houses that are not very far.

For data transfer u say.. Keep in mind you'll be restricted by the 54Mbps limit.. And that too will not be up to the mark and constant with a custom antenna and that distance.. Online browsing would be fine though..

Lol yeah.. Actually this concept was used long ago by few hackers in the States who used it to a nearby office's Wi-Fi network and steal bandwidth.. That was the time when Wi-fi was a thing for the elite and only used in big establishments.. They were caught later though (thats how the world got to knw abt it !!!).. Its later been copied by many ppl worldwide..

Very nice efforts there.

Only issue i suspect that u guys will face is getting good 'Line of sight' along with proper alignment. If u can get that then u will definatley succed.

Best of luck
