Sorry guys I have no functioning camera to take pictures of the setup, but as soon as I do I will post them. By the way you can get WiFi signal boosters (like a linear amp) from who knows where, but they are available.
Now I don't know the legal limit where you may be for the max watts. but chech your local laws first. I beleive most cities do let you transmit the max 4 watts. You can also have repeaters and skip towers as well, there are limits on how far you can transmit WiFi weather it be 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
2.4GHz can get about 10 miles @ 4 watts with the right setup, 5GHz can get about 6 times that and go up to 300 miles with repeater towers (all info in the last sentance is provided that you have direct line of sight and there is no rain or fog, although they do not have much impact on signal strength) Back to my original point, my buddy is a tech genius when it comes to wireless tech, he built my WiFi linears for me, they work wonderfully. Also they do not exceed the legal limit of 4 watts, infact mine are tuned precisely to 3.843 watts to make sure they stay legal. You really don't want the FCC breathin down your neck! Thats why I check laws and stay within legal activity. Please I would like to hear more feedback on these matters so post me please. -Will
