I mount the wireless dongle in the Folger's coffee can (4 inch diameter, 5 1/3 in long). Remove the existing LNB from the dish (the thing on the end of the sick in front of the dish). I'll post some instructions for this antenna, so you can see what I mean:ġ. This is without ANY participation from the target AP at all. I myself, using just only old DirecTv dish, a wireless dongle, a coffee can, and some hot glue have connected to AP's over 1 mile away from the top of a hill.

For example, using 2 dishes pointed at each other, tests have achieved a full 11mb bandwidth connection on 802.11b wireless over a distance of 22 miles across a desert. Using just a parabolic satellite dish it is possible to connect to wireless ap's that thousands of feet and even miles away. In fact, for short distances, just mounting a dish behind your wireless device pointed at the ap while give surprising results.

This thread comes up in a number of search results, so I want anyone reading this to know Ī person with no computer skills could connect to another home that is close, with about 30 minutes and some trial and error. I know the thread is old, but the info I'm adding is even more important today. I registered just to reply to this thread. Repeat until satisfied (they might not have noticed the first few times or whatever. Then turn it off and see if they come out to check the dish. It would be pretty easy to find out, if you haven't already, just wait until you think the person is home and using your wireless. There is really no other explanation for a dish to be pointed DOWNHILL. The reply from TCMTECH is the most likely to be correct. I know some hillbillies that could match wits with any scientist and win!

The dish itself would then point at the horizon in a south/ south west direction.īut being that he is on a hill and if he has it pointed down below the horizon in order to get focused on your place he is snooping in one form or another.ĭo you have wireless Internet access? If so he may not be listening to your converstions but rather piggy backing off your connection in order to get free Internet at your expense!Īnd dont let persons looks decieve you. When I stayed over at his place there was one station (we were to young to be watching of course) that had to have the dishes positioning actuator physically removed and then held in place much further up with a clamp in order to get that satellites signal. If your fairly far north or south of the equator there are times when a person does in fact have to point their dish nearly level to the ground to get some of the odd satellite feeds.Īs a kid one of my friends families had the old style satellite system. If the neighbor is listening, then he'll get paranoid if he thinks you are watching. Or just get some pipe and make something that appears to be one. Get a big telescope, fun looking at the stars, sometimes the neighbors (if she's hot). If he's listening, he will of course be asking questions to confirm what he hears, act to control the damaging information. Might try spreading rumors or misinformation about your neighbor over the speakers, since only. The volume doesn't have to be annoyingly loud, about the same as your voice. The mike will pick up the loudest (closest) sounds, and should mask or confuse your conversations enough. Get some outdoors type speakers, place them between the house and the dish, enjoy some music, Spanish lesson on tape, The Holy Bible, or anything else. Since it was your dish, you would know it's worth as such, and should be familiar with what directions it ought to be pointing to pick up a satellite signal. But mostly, there isn't much the dish can receive that isn't scrambled. The equipment is kind of expensive to buy, but can be had for free, if you find somebody clearing out a garage.

I'd figure that there is something going on with the dish though, since there isn't much reason for someone to install a large dish anymore. Here in the United States, it's tough to figure out what is legal anymore.
