<div>This sort of conundrum makes me wonder if reasonably priced, directional wifi antennas are available. Online discussions have demoed some parabolic dish like ones with a reported range of 3 miles (probably more for industrial or government scouting uses (like aerial mounted). But something small that is directional would likely be useful for people in difficult RF fixes. I wonder if a lower-cost model is even available. Would be curious if anyone has encountered any?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely, <br></div><div>Joseph Rocklin <br></div><div>Rocklin@tuta.io </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Jun. 15, 2020, 11:25 p.m. by talk@gtalug.org:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>FYI...<br></div><div><br></div><div>For work-from-home, I got stuffs spread over two tables in my basement.<br></div><div>Most devices don't support or have wireless capability.
