Wireless connectivity is an amazing and empowering technology. It allows people to access data and be in touch with others in a way which was impossible until recently. Whether we are are accomplishing financial transactions, reading books, listening to podcasts, or listing merchandise for e-commerce, wireless connectivity is a critical link in nearly all of our usage of the internet. For too many people, wireless broadband is a limiting and frustrating link which does not perform well enough, because the radio signals are too far and weak. This book offers ways to enjoy wifi signals and connect over longer distances.

Extend your wifi distance and enjoy better broadband with the antenna projects and smart usage tips in this book. It lays out how to build wifi parabolic prime and linear focus antennas, which the author has used, to have long distance wifi connections. Not only are large dish antennas covered, but less cumbersome wifi yagi and helical antennas are included, which can reach access points far across your neighborhood and beyond. The book gives step by step examples for modifying wifi dongles and connecting them to external antennas.

Many other guides advocate simply using a bigger antenna on a USB wifi dongle. In this book, the author suggests using the new breed of single board computers to transform the wifi into an ethernet link. These can be run for longer distances, from one's rooftop down to the basement or other places where wifi could not reach.

The essence of this book is antenna building. It talks about the various kinds of antennas, how they can help extend wifi speed and distance, and how to build them with typical workshop tools. If you can measure, cut, work with screws and bolts, and solder, then you can build wifi antennas.

It is amazing how wireless connectivity can be improved with better antennas. Whether you are using classic 2.6 GHz wireless networking or the newer 5 or 6 GHz wifi 6, there are things you can do to assure you are getting maximum range and data throughput. Read also to learn of some security issues and solutions which matter to anyone who uses the internet.

Enjoy more fine books from this author! WebSDR Handbook is a guide which shows how to tune in shortwave radio and other communications from hundreds of free radio servers around the world. KiwiSDRs are the nearly perfect software defined radio for shortwave listeners. This is a handbook for using the global network of receivers you may use for free to tune in shortwave, AM broadcast, and amateur radio signals. The Windows to Linux Migration Guide helps you escape the walled garden operating systems and switch to the free and open world of Linux. Censorship's Grave discusses censorship and how it has failed in the age of information and mass media - only to be replaced by propaganda and information warfare. Airband Radio on the RTL-SDR shows how to improve the quality of aviation communications reception (voice, ACARS and VDL, ADS-B) when using the RTL-SDR software defined radios. The book conveys tips, tricks, theory, and best operating practices.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A career professional in the airline industry, holding the ATP certificate in three countries, with multiple type ratings. Enjoys writing about tech, travel and piloting the heavies. Always carries a camera and audio recorder to capture interesting happenings or pretty scenes. Keeps his note-taking app open to write about useful knowledge and how to share it.

"I enjoy writing those small, compact, but meaty handbooks which help people do

things to make their lives better. The picture books are a favorite of mine. Come

on - who doesn't love a stunning sunrise or to tiptoe among the anvil tops? Alan

Bean was totally correct, that "we're still in the Garden."

Books about the WebSDR, RTLSDR and KiwiSDR technologies come from his experience as a licensed amateur and commercial radio operator. It is amazing how one can be anywhere in the world but tune in live signals from broadcasters somewhere else. SDRs are real radios, so you do need to know where to tune and how to set up your modes and filters. They help dictators fail:

"I lived for a while in a place where BBC and VOA radio broadcasts were jammed,

and their websites blocked. With KiwiSDRs, I could stream AM radio to my smart

phone from a receiver in London - or New York, totally evading the censors. Freedom

expands, friends. Information wants to be free. Know that. It is thermodynamic."

The book, "Censorship's Grave" comes from the experience of being inside of censorship barriers and becoming an expert at circumventionism. The surprising truth is how permeable the splinternet really is. Censorship has failed (and the dictators know it). Yet, there are Western politicians who want to block websites in the USA. Read the book to learn how censorship no longer works.

He is enthusiastic about free and open source software and has published popular operating systems based on GNU/Linux.
