Recently i came across an old directv dish, and decided to hack it for wifi use. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? What did the end result look like? Could you post pictures? What kind of cable did you use? LMR-100? Thank you very much for any help.

Working on the same project at the moment. I an going to make a bi-quad wifi head, with a pig tail from the bi-quad to alfa antena adapter, which will give me USB connectivity. I am hoping to get a signal range 1+ mile. I should be finished with the project in the coming weeks. I will post some photos and stats as to wheather the project was successfull once compled.
