[MLB-WIRELESS] Converting satellite dish antenna to WiFi

[Peter Buncle]

You can do this

The common way to do this is with a butterfly antenna or cantenna as a feed

just don't forget to set the dish to 0 deg (horizon)

On offset dishes u can use a 45 deg pole to push the dish down by 45 deg

Then the 45 deg mark on the dish is actually  zero

Have fun

Peter

Hi all

I have an unused satellite dish antenna which I would like to convert
to a WiFI antenna... Can't quite bring myself to throwing it out.

I am a complete newbie at this, so any help, advise and/or assistance
would be greatly appreciated (rewarded with beer perhaps?).


Cheers
   Serg
