Woah, 5 miles!

This can pose a very bad security risk, not to mention hefty internet bills.  :o

    Antenna is on the receiving side - not the transmit side.
    If you don't have time to do it right
                    ...when will you have time to do it over?

        hey two-dogs,

        Being the maker of Wiffy Extreme, sometimes I google the phrase to see if anyone is talking about it.   This brings me here - If you have any questions please ask.

        Cheers.

              I wanted to know if you wanted any help with it, to make it better.  Alot of people get confused with one thing or another with the building or pointing of the dish.  If you have any question, I'd like to answer it.

                drboose I didn't mean you, sorry for the confusion.  It seems to work and the signal strength is around 30 % , but if I need any help later I will get back but for now he is just browsing away...................two-dogs

                  if you look at the description on my youtube page, you'll see a URL to my w3bguru site.  on that page are the instructions and usage suggestions.  glad it works well for you - it does for me!

                        If you can't find a commercial dish you  can make a wifi antenna using a pasta strainer. look here. http://www.instructables.com/id/Wifi-Signal-Strainer-WokFi/
