Wifi Antenna Boosters

[alterat...@gmail.com]

Hi, I need a Wifi Antenna Boosters (attached to the usb). Can a Wifi Antenna Boosters be used with qubes? 

I guess question is whether or not the software will work.

I had something like this in mind;

Not only that, it should be linux compatible, it is also a matter of sharing the connection with others VMs.

There is an option during Qubes installation to have sys-net and sys-usb in the same VM. That may simplify the matter of sharing.

But to simplify your life I would buy a small router with antennas, such as this one, which uses open wrt:

With a router you do not need to touch your Qubes settings and security and the signal will be available for your phone and your close friends as well.

Also you have the option to buy a couple of stronger antennas if you want.

Thanks a lot! That seams way better.

So one just attach it and I works straight away? With no need to alter Qubes or install any software? 

And from and security point of view? Will it add any additional risk when connection to a public network using Tor?

And any ideer how long the is reach? I guess the answer is in this numbers 300 Mbps, 125 Nand flash. The antenna I considered earlier could add 200 meters the the original retch of the wifi. I presume this one a lot more powerfull.

correct

no additonal risk

it depends on the couple of antennas which you choose (a couple of directional antennas will work better for this use) and on the power that is sent to the antennas which depends on the router you buy. There is a router  from a Taiwan company called Alfa which can be coupled with special antennas and is able to reach  a couple of km without buildings in the middle, having an output of a couple of watts. But this is a fairly bulky and more expensive arrangement and if you are moving every day it is too difficult to transport and setup.

Also some people consider that power waves may be detriment to your health.

So  you have to choose a compromise that is more suitable for the life you want to live.

Please remember that this mailing lists requires you do not top post
