Long Range wifi transmission

bbuck99 · August 30, 2016

I live in the country and don't have access to good Internet. Right now I currently have satellite internet and am capped at 25gb per month. The only alternative I have thought of is broadcasting from my school which is 3/4 of a mile away. There is a few trees between here and the school but not many. I know there are wifi satellites that can send wifi up to 5 miles like the one Linus reviewed. Does anybody have any ideas about an easy to setup cheap and effective solution? Thanks!

Your school wouldnt let you anyway

I recommend using opera as your main browser as they have a built in function to compress pages before they are sent

Cheap? Depends on what your understanding of cheap is. A wireless link like that will only work if the space between the two points is clear of obstructions. If you have a tree that is in the middle of your link, your link will fail.

The price will depend on your local market, but you are looking at around $200-$300 USD total.

If you don't know anything about this, it's best left to professionals.
