Wifi cantennas?

[WTFH]

A few questions:
1. Do you have access to both sites, i.e. can you build a transmitter/receiver in both places, or are you hoping to (surreptitiously?) connect to the wifi?
2. Do you have line of sight between the two sites?
3. Why do you need to connect to that particular wifi, rather than using other communications methods?
4. What's your budget?

The solution may be to set up a nanostation. Take a look at Ubiquiti Airmax AC products.

The 5GHz spectrum in the UK runs from 5150MHz (5.15GHz) to 5850MHz (5.85GHz). This is then broken down into 3 different bands (Band A, B and C). Each band has its own maximum allowed effective radiated power output and specific rules as to where it can be used and whether a license is required to operate within it.

This info is contained in the table below

Band Low High Indoor/Outdoor Max Power Level License Requirements
A 5150MHz 5350MHz Indoor 200mW License Free
B 5470MHz 5725MHz Indoor/Outdoor 1000mW (1W) License Free <------------------------------
C 5725MHz 5850MHz Outdoor (FWA) 4000mW (4W) Licensed

That is correct... ish

I'll wager that no answer came the stern reply.

Fun fact: since the forum upgrade, we can now do proper tables

A	5150MHz	5350MHz	Indoor	200mW	License Free
B	5470MHz	5725MHz	Indoor/Outdoor	1000mW (1W)	License Free
C	5725MHz	5850MHz	Outdoor (FWA)	4000mW (4W)	Licensed

Can we do improper tables?

(I remember doing improper fractions as school, so there must be tables of them somewhere)

'effin smartarse!

Except on mobile, where it is unreadable.

Yeah, no responsive stuff here sadly

I was planning to play with responsive tables sometime soon; maybe admin will let me contribute a patch

EDIT: oh wait, you mean the mobile app? Somebody will have to get vBulletin to upgrade their support for that, I'm afraid. Rather sloppy of them to provide support for tables in the editor toolbar and the BBCode parser, then fail to support them in the app. They're undocumented in the BBCode help page, too

Ah progress ...
Of a sort.
