[edit] Fontenna for Street-coverage
- By default the fontenna is sold to be put
- to a window using the 2 2-side stickers
- to be put against a wall using the plastic holder and the 2 screws/plugs accompagnied.
- BUT I wanted not to cover the park, school, building,market across the street. I wanted to cover at least 1 side of the street outside. With 2 foneras&2 fontennas I could cover both sides of my street (on the sides of my house so I don't interfere the signal from behind the fontenna.) each covering I side... and thus at least cover 800meters of street.... and a 3rd fonera in my building to cover the home itself...
[edit] Requirements
- a few fastbinders
- some ducttape
- a saw
- a pvc-tube
- a drilling machine

[edit] Tutorial
- remove plastic cap
- Drill holes
- attach fontenna with fastbinders
- close holes with duct tape
- use screw to tighten the metal holder to the pvc tube
- You can use longer pvc tubing (but it would not be too steady... the fontenna has an almost 180° directional wifi angle and 10° uptilt so it will flood your street allready nicely.... if you could place them each 200 meters... you have a nice wifi street :)
