devices close to the antenna and using cat 5 to move the data to the
device Also POE (Power Over Ethernet) is a great technique. One cable
to the device makes it simple to setup. <br>

Right now, my signal is 49% to 61% and that link is not stable enough
using the supplied antennas.
The AP is a Linksys WRT54G with two fixed antennas, but the WiFi card
has a SMA-R connector.
I would think that just about any 2.4GHz antenna would be better than
the existing antenna on the card that is on the remote system.
After I am able to make the RV system work, my brother-in-law,
father-in-law and I would like to build a WiFi WAN with a 7 mile
footprint to start.

They make some decent rpsma rubber duckies.
Folks are, for the most part, correct about your coverage with a
solution
like that. Especially inside a nice metal cage.
How far do you want to go? Are you just hoping to get coverage when in
the
parking lot at a hotel along side the road? Or do you want to reach
into a
building from a mile away?
One thing I'd suggest very strongly. Whatever you do, stay away from
the
amps. There's just too much noise out there these days.
Might want to pick up a 10' rg58u rpsma to n-m pigtail. It'll require a
very small hole. 5/16" or so.
