hi all
I've just had a thought and I figured it might be an interesting project.
We have our router placed near the outside wall of the property. However, the previous tenants had it within the house, with a coax extension of probably about 30 metres which goes around skirting and doorways.
We don't use the extension, and I was wondering if somehow fitting one end of it to the router's antenna connection would be a clever way of getting fantastic WiFi reception all through the flat? Is it likely to work?
The connectors are different sizes, so I was thinking of just connecting it using some copper wire or similar. I doubt a VM coax > WiFi antenna adaptor exists.
Any thoughts welcome!
