Once again, i tested several wireless design.
The spider
The spider is a simple to do (really), quarter wave omni-directional antenna. The cost: a female N :) Beside this antenna doesn’t have any gain, it prove to be really usefull, mainly for wardriving because it’s small, and offer really better performance than the default PCMCIA builtins (because [...]

Update
I spend a [...]

I just receive my new wifi antenna :) I fact, I’m currently using my NetGear WG311 as a AP, this works pretty fine, but the signal is a bit low in some part of my home. I decided to buy a small antenna to have better signal.
This one is a omni antenna, with 4dBi, with [...]

In fact, i’m trying to turn my Wifi gateway (which is really a gateway 2 interfaces + masquerading ) in a transparent bridge. You know only have a single IP for the two interfaces, so going on the wired networks and back won’t be masquerade. In fact until now i can’t access to the Wifi [...]
