At the other house (450 feet away), there would be a PCI Wireless NIC. I'm just wondering if I would need another Access Point + Antenna or would the one antenna work with that network card 450 feet away?</P> Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:04:43 GMT reptile4 2021-07-05T06:04:43Z Wireless with Antenna Extender Two Questions.... https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wireless-with-antenna-extender-two-questions/m-p/100862#M87976 <P>Just wondering by purchasing the Cisco AIR-ANT2506 Omni-Directional Mast Mount antenna does this send and receive?</P><P>Basically I want to hook up the antenna to my wireless router and put the Antenna outside my house to extend the range and so I can access computers roughly 450 feet from my house.

The higher gain antennas will also comp-ensate for the signal loss over the coax cable.</P><P></P><P>Figure in about $90-120 for each end including mounts, cable and the antennas (assuming about 10' of coax). Call if you need help getting the right parts.</P><P></P><P>Matthew Wheeler</P><P>Blue Modal</P><P>1-866-2-UNWIRE</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Apr 2002 15:50:58 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wireless-with-antenna-extender-two-questions/m-p/100863#M87977 blue.modal 2002-04-11T15:50:58Z
