[QUOTE="mikeisyou, post: 1040555, member: 313486"] Hi All, I've been thinking about getting a wifi dongle [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/802-11ac-Wireless-Network-Adapter-10-4-10-12-5-8ghz-600mbps/dp/B077HV82GH/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518733713&sr=1-2&keywords=5.0+ghz+band[/URL] so I can use to pick up free wifi from a mile away. Luckier enough I live on a hill and the location with free wifi is also on a hill so I do have a line of sight with the building so it shouldn't be too hard. I have seen lots of tutorials on youtube with people using the dongle as a lnb pointed at their satellite dish. Has anyone on the forum tried this before? I have a spare sky minidish but it might not be big enough for the job. The usb dongle has a coaxial connection so it can be connected to a regular lnb but I'm not sure what lnb would be best for receiving 2.4 and 5.0ghz signals. [/QUOTE]
