Re: Before you post 'how to share WiFi to neighbor
I forgot to point out explicitly in the original post, another way in which good use of directional antenna help out.
Namely interference!
By focussing your receive and transmit gain in a particular direction you become somewhat more blind in other directions. A high-gain omni will still be very susceptible to interference from it's 360-degree arc. A high-gain directional will be LESS likely to interference from other sources in other directions. So that other neighbor with the 2.4 GHz phone, the 2.4 GHz cameras, etc will be less of a problem if you use a directional antenna. The 2.4 GHz band is unfortunately very narrow, and crowded with devices that aren't usually smart enough to share the spectrum well, you have to take this into account. |
