--- Quote from: Jeremy Parrett ---Not sure your pricing on the Ranger and the Bullet are correct. Here is the link to the Ranger antenna
https://www.wifiranger.com/wfrboost-fixed. At $249 it is spendy.
The Bullet https://www.wifiranger.com/productpage-wfrboostmobile even more at $299.
I think my Wave RV omni directional marine antenna is very competitively priced at $169 . It may not be as powerful as it is usb 5 volt driven but it is so much more user friendly......plug and play. When they come out with the router in a month or so for around $240 it will be the ultimate set up.

Jeremy, it strikes me that it's dealing with WifiRanger that is spendy.........and anyway, since you already have a D-Link to use as a downstream router, what added value does the WifiRanger bring?
Why not go to L-com.com get a bullet2, a POE adapter, and they have a special on a 4"x4"x4" 12dB directional antenna at $10 for a total cost of $58, shipping, and whatever you spend to mount it?

Ed, Where did you procure, or what is the name of the white standoff mount for your Bullet, pictured in your first thread??? Henry Wall
Edward Buker:
George,
I used a material called Starboard which is a plastic that can be easily worked with woodworking tools. Curves (sabre saw), rounded edges (router), straight cuts(table saw) holes (drill or hole saw). It is available from West Marine as well as other locations. The pieces are fastened together with screws. It is a strong UV stable material used in the marine industry. I keep a few pieces around and use it whenever I do a small outdoor project that I want to last. The material reminds me a little of Corion but it is not as heavy.
Later Ed
George H. Wall:
Ed, THANKS for the info, it is one sharp looking setup!!! G. Henry Wall
David Burris:
This is a great system and works well. SIMPLE, plug into your usb and boost your signal by 50-75%. I bought this for $39. I pick up my neighbors 300 yrds from my house.
Give it a try.
