I'm sure logging on the internet from my home would not be exactly what these companies had in mind when they advertised "Free Internet" but hello, it looked like an open invitation to me! Then I picked them up. Actually, there are three companies I can sign up from my house that advertise free internet. Next, just over half a mile away, the other two are several tens of miles away.
Now, you're probably thinking … these guys must have a powerful way for me to record WIFI signals from afar. The truth is that; they do not. They use standard outdoor guidelines connected to the Internet through servers like all others. The trick to accomplish this feat is at my end.
For maximum Wi-Fi connection, you need either a powerful transmitter or powerful receiver. The government limits the power of the transmission, so to make this connection; It is an antenna scan that is important.
This is not something new. Antenna model has been running since Nikola Tesla first began experimenting with wireless communication back in the 1890s. WIFI is just a continuation of the early technology. The range on most WIFI routes is only about 300 feet. But with a good built antenna, this range can be extended incredibly. My connection is rock solid.
For those who are having trouble getting a good connection from one end of your house to others, this might seem impossible, but with a custom antenna it's quite common. Current WIFI long term for unauthorized stocks & # 39; A road is 238 miles! It's just using antenna technology.
So, how expensive are these antennas and where can you get them? You can buy them, but the ads are over $ 100. At least an expensive way to acquire one is to build it yourself. It's easy and it costs only $ 10 to $ 15. When you think of what you spend on service charges every year … it's falling into a bucket.
There are two types of WIFI antennas that you can build … Yagi and Waveguide. The Yagi is pretty complicated for beginners. The Waveguide, or antenna, is something that ten years old can build at noon. All of it consists of a tin can and a USB internet adapter.
Of course, the crate must be of a certain size and shape and the USB adapter must fit in exactly the right place for it to work properly. But there is no problem if you can follow simple instructions. It's also easy to step up this antenna by adding more things. It is the most advanced design that is most interesting.
The best place to find building instructions and more about WiFi antennas is to log into Amazon bookstore and enter "FREE Internet" in the search engine. This will bring up some books that show you exactly how to build these and even more powerful WIFI antennas. Book prices range from $ 5 to $ 20. The books at the top are the most popular.
Not only was this fun afternoon project, but I expect it will save me $ 500 a year so far. Or at least until they take, "free internet" sign up!
