[@werriewoepers]

[@wojtek3016]

Yes, this is my next upgrade

Cześć, jakiej karty WiFi użyłeś?

I expected it to be at least 2-3km.

[@wojtek3016]

I don't think any system will get that with simple 'wire' antennas. I will install proper antennas and do another test

[@unixoid33]

@@wojtek3016 The main thing is that the antennas are tuned to the desired frequency. with omni antennas, 3 km is quite possible. I even saw 13km on the old ez-wifibrodcast. It will be interesting to look at the next test. Well filmed.

​@unixoid33 thanks, good to know. Yes, the next step is to swap antennas and see how the range changed. Do you have any recommendations what antennas I should buy?

@@wojtek3016 pretty sure di pole antennas are the best omni, the circular polarized are better at ignoring reflection
