I wasn't referring to a parabolic antenna, merely a reflector. You could make one yourself by cutting a coffee can (ain't this stuff fun?). For some nice ideas, check out http://osiris.urbanna.net/antenna_designs/projects/template.
Outstanding link! I have some background in antenna theory and construction. The design looks like it would work in the ideal environment. From a practical standpoint a parabolic reflector on the back of a full tower might not be doable because of the density of the cable population and in any case a reflector would be dependent on the orientation of the tower to the WAP. Got to have omni directional capability... Or an antenna that I can can remote and play with directionality. and for less money I could simply dig a trench between the two buildings and drop in a Cat 5 cable and run at 100 Mbps. It would be less than half the price and 10 times the speed... Why not? Don't need the speed for the application I have and I'm now fascinated with WiFi... :-)
I'm not looking to increase bandwidth (you'd need 802.11a or g, at this point), just try to make up the signal loss for you.
Lewis, the D-Link router I have is a "g" so it has the bandwidth. You are right, the problem is signal strength. We will see what happens when th e new antenna comes in... Thanks for the input! - ray
