will this work for me?
I hope this is right. I have a trailer in a park that has wifi for the main sites but I'm on a permanent grass site a little ways away and can't quite get the signal unless I put my laptop in the car and move a couple hundred yards closer to their antenna. Now I do have a linksys wrt54gs V6 and I made a bi-quad antenna to hook into it. I know my Version router is not good for dd-wrt so I want to know if it will work to boost the signal enough to work in my trailer as is? I can mount the bi-quad outside the window and have router inside (3' cable) and use cat5 cable to the laptop. Does it matter which of the antennas on the router I use? do I disconnect the other?:noidea:
I guess I don't have to tell you I'm totally new to this.
