Any Wireless Lan Geeks about.?
 

Just bought a new Uni-directional Wlan Antenna (24dbi gain)

This should give me at least a 15,000 meter range for accessing Access points.

I need about 10 metres of Co-ax cable with N-type jack connectors. any idea's if there are any specialist Wlan shops about in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?.

Would also like an MMCX to N-Type convertor so i can use it with my laptop, but thats not as important.
Thanks in advance.

I've spent the last 3 hours on Computer St and they have every cable and every wire you could ever need...............You just need to ask in one place and they'll find it for you

I could be totally wrong here but im sure the mall at the main junction of Bank Street (across the road from the york) in Bur Dubai is caled the Wi-fi zone, I know all the shops are PC/IT related so it would make sense, maybe worth a look.

Will give it a go.
With my old antenna I could pick up 8 access points and multiplex the links and get 2mb link to the net FOC :)

with the new on i should be able to get about 30-35. :cool:

They are quite specialized cables but i will give them a try 2morrow afternoon.

Apologises for being sad and geekish. :eek:

Actually, now im going to be REALLY sad.
Just doing some applied maths to figure out my range with my new antenna.

TX Power = 13db,RX sensitivity=-83db
Antenna gain: 14+14=28db
cable loss: 2x0.6+2x2.5=6.2db
Therefore the maximum distance is 8 kilometres!!!!!!

this was calculated using "Distance (KM)=2x"

So, if your within 8km of SZR and your internet connection starts running slow......unlucky, its me download porn via your link. :cool: :cool: :cool:

time for some MAC locking on my wireless router!!!

Re: Any Wireless Lan Geeks about.?
 

Word of warning.. also change the default admin signon and password via the browser interface to your router (i believe its 192.168.0.1 (2) )
otherwise i can just connect to it via http...enable my MAC address and disable yours !! :p :D :D

Not that i would do that.

While we're in geek mode, what kind of jack socket is used for broadband in Dubai?

It's just that I recently bought a D-Link wireless ADSL router and I'd like to take it to Dubai with me. Presumably, though, even if the jacks are different to the UK, I could get suitable adapters without too much trouble.
