What you're saying makes sense. It just makes me wonder how comercial units are constructed.

Thanks for the educated response. I'll post back if I dig up anything else.

Wifi is built using "radios" and you guys are really one of the few who discuss amplifying and sharing schematics.

I would primarily be interested in receiving. I definitely want to build as the store bought amplifiers cost an arm and a leg.

Just seeing what's out there.

I don't understand. Wifi adapters are tranceivers. They send and receive. You can hook up an amplifier inbetween the adapter and the antenna.

Basically, I'm trying to build one of these:

Since wifi is 2.4 Ghz of RF, I imagine a small ampifier wouldn't be to hard to build?

More specificly, I would like to get 802.11g to at least 500 mW

I'm not talking about antennas here.
