*WiFi router not included,
but can be bought from your local electronic store if you
don't already have one. This system is great for use with security cameras.
More info...
You will need to know the exact network name (SSID) and
wireless password (Wireless Encryption Key) that you
wish to connect to. For example: "Linksys" or "NetGear".
We can configure a bridge device to receive this network
for you. Once you have the antenna mounted and kit
plugged in, it should begin to work. Plug the supplied
ethernet cable into your computer or WiFi router, and
you're done. If later on you have the desire to connect
to a different network then we can walk you through the
process over the phone or you can follow the included
directions.
It is best to have perfect line of site to the network
without obstructions or at least be able to pull in
1-bar of signal at your location using a laptop. You
should get 400-500% better WiFi reception with our
system
if it is outside and up high. This is where we would
recommend that you mount the antenna.
Realistically, you should be able to receive a WiFi
signal from an
indoor hotspot at a range of two to three city
blocks away (if there are no obstructions). If the
public hotspot is mounted
outside
(and there are no obstructions) then you may be able to
receive this hotspot from up to 1-mile away.
Here is a list of items included with kit.
- Outdoor Bridge device
- POE power adapter
- 50 ft ethernet cable
- 5 ft ethernet cable
- Coax tape (Weatherproofing for antenna connector)
- Silicone grease (Weatherproofing for antenna connector)
- Custom device configuration before shipping
The cost of the system is $199.99 before shipping (and tax if in California) and
plus the antenna cost. There is a one-year warranty for this
system.

Additionally, you will need an outdoor WiFi antenna. The antenna connects directly to the Bridge device.
Each of these antennas offers different reception strengths and coverage
depending on your needs. Directional antennas will cover
more distance but the angle of coverage will not be as
great as an omni directional antenna.
