If we get technical. The moment you interfere/ modify anything that is FCC compliant or run anything not FCC approved you are technically breaking the law. That's how. Does anyone ever get caught. Not really, only when people mess with radio frequencys that are for emergency etc.
Incorrect, your perfectly able to change anything, your not allowed to transmit above 100mw or jam others which an amp would do. If you wish to transmit on higher power you need a license like a ham radio licence which you get after completing a course and paying for your call sign. It's about education
@@armstrongskyview2810 it’s still can be considered an allowed if the exact set up has not been preapproved because technically you’re only allowed to put on approved and tenors on access points and stuff like that
There is also wokfi if you don;t have any money. I used one circa 2006 with a cheap USB wifi dongle and could get boosted signals. I made one out of an old chip pan basket lol.
Did the same thing before watching this and I am trying to determine why. N type male connector to rp-sma connector to router. Need a way to diagnose what is happening. The antenna is being used to receive wifi, like a wireless bridge.
Is there some way to calculate _how_ much better it would be at receiving, given a range and the transmit output of another source (say a phone)? Kinda curious how this even works. I guess the wifi EM radiation is _technically_ infinite but with an exponential drop-off and a high-gain antenna is just better at picking up a heavily degraded signal?
On the receiving perspective, high gain antenna is actually beneficial on two major factors, First is of course it just gathers more EM power from the space, it's not too obvious with Yagi design, but if you think about a dish antenna it should be somewhat more understandable. Secondly, a high gain antenna is also not going to receive as much environmental noise because it's more focus on one direction. In the end, you get more power and less noise in, thus improving SNR on both end.
do i need to have 2 yagi antennes for recieving and sending my wifi signal? in a straight line my garden is 2.5 km away from my home but i haven to drive around to my garden and than it is 5 km from my home away, i want to instal a set of solar wifi camera`s in my garden thinking of my distance i think i whut need a dish but i dont know everything what whut yout advice tu use that is low power and long distance and preferly chaep
2 questions. Are there any security cams that have an external antenna port? Will adding a 2.4.Ghz antenna to a security cam allow it to be 200 meters away?
@@xavierzander4201 You can use it for passively receiving signals. You may not be allowed to use it for wifi (in a country that regulates EIRP/ERP). The video creator claims it's not restricted in the UK but that doesn't agree with what I've read, and even the wikipedia page says the EU limits EIRP.
@@KennyMacDermid what i mean is using it only to recieve is not much of use... because the transmitter does not reach the other "party" recieving more does not make a complete connection out of that. and all tx power is measured to radiated power, it would be stupid otherwise.
It will work for 5Ghz but it will not give as much gain because of the different frequency. 5.8Ghz is a Harmonic of 2.4Ghz which is why it will work but it's better to get a directional antenna for 5Ghz
how would trees canopy impact this directional signal? I currently have an omnidirectional antenna on my shop to pickup the house wifi but in the summer months the trees are massively impacting that signal. If I point a directional at my shop will the signal pierce through the trees? Also I guess I would need 2 directional antenna pointing at each other, correct?
So ..... legal only because you use it on the recieving part only .... but..... communication is also sending.... you may recieve a lot, but the TX signal will not reach what you recieve, hence, i can not believe in a "massive boost" is the simple math i can see. putting some reflectors on both duckies might have more effect. btw the specs of the yagi you're holding are (China fake specs) i guess you never watched any of Andrew mcNeil videos on youtube Please remove your/this video, because it is misleading. The only advantage of this antenna is dat you get paid by Alie for doing this video.
You should not have a channel on RUclips teaching this. Everything you said is only half right. The amp is illegal due to the regulation of 100mw max transmit power, please explain to people these things. The yagi you show is Not 20dbi, it's been tested with professional equipment by Andrew on his channel and he shows exactly what is going on and that these cheap ebay yagi are crap and not even 2.4ghz but another frequency. Next time put some effort into the content by studying antenna theory which is a thing and a huge subject. I myself am an ex-Brit army Radio operator and we have to do a course that's months long 16hrs a day only on the theory and then field testing. Your information is damaging and may cost people money and cause legal issues!!!
I do specify that an amplifier is illegal like I show in the previous video, the Yagi antenna is capable of up to 20Dbi if well matched to the frequency which is rare and is usually less. though cheap ones will be less as you said and that one was tuned to 2.4Ghz again cheap ones can range wildly same with any cheap product. I have a video somewhere explaining my back ground but to summarise I am an ex Royal Signals now working in cyber security and run the RF hacking village in UK and Ireland.
I am lost/feel dumb.......where is all of this "illegal"?

Nice! Maybe that you could show us how strong or how many extra routers it will see!
There is also wokfi if you don;t have any money. I used one circa 2006 with a cheap USB wifi dongle and could get boosted signals. I made one out of an old chip pan basket lol.
Is there anyway you could show me how you did it? Thanks!
and that's how you'll get your late Christmas order direct to Santa this year :)
how does the amplifier switch to reception, what bandwidth does the amplifier have in its band?
I like him, sounds very smart
The sound lies, but thanks :)

What do you recommend when the modem/router has both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz?
You can buy the yagi antennas at cover both frequencies
I think I have one somewhere, or may have auctioned it off
@@arcticcanoe
It's still illegal, because it
Causes the router to lose its compliance with f.C.C requirements. The router was not tested with antenna.
Hello, I have a question.
How many meters are the waves spread?
On a wifi card there is or router there is 2 SMA connections which one should I plug it into? Which one is which?
Is there some way to calculate _how_ much better it would be at receiving, given a range and the transmit output of another source (say a phone)? Kinda curious how this even works. I guess the wifi EM radiation is _technically_ infinite but with an exponential drop-off and a high-gain antenna is just better at picking up a heavily degraded signal?

It won't help with a phone, different frequency, unless you mean extending the WiFi
Now throw a copper tube around it, less spread?
do i need to have 2 yagi antennes for recieving and sending my wifi signal?
in a straight line my garden is 2.5 km away from my home but i haven to drive around to my garden and than it is 5 km from my home away,
i want to instal a set of solar wifi camera`s in my garden
thinking of my distance i think i whut need a dish but i dont know everything
what whut yout advice tu use that is low power and long distance and preferly chaep
what range can you get with this thing?
Trying to get the free wifi from my apartment pool area right below my balcony (I’m in 5 floor) any suggestions or is this it?
Do you need two of them 1 for the transmitter and 1 for the receiver ?. Or do you just need one for the transmitter
I watched till the end never mind 😂
2 questions. Are there any security cams that have an external antenna port?
Will adding a 2.4.Ghz antenna to a security cam allow it to be 200 meters away?
You can add an external antenna port or SMA :)
For 200m range, you just need clear line of sight and use a cheap directional antenna such as a small patch antenna
If I use this in my house it will amplify signal through my house walls?
Still likely illegal, at least in the US and Canada where it's regulated on EIRP.
Not in UK and most parts of Europe. They are not restrictive of ERP and have their own regulations
on only RX antenna ? like this story is....

Can you connect a yagi antenna to an android phone via a usb?
You would need a USB Wi-Fi adapter and likely the antenna on that will be good enough
link is invalid brother!
Will this also work connecting it to the pc in the shop instead of the router in the house?
BRILLIANT
Thank you!!
im so jealous off your hair
What countries is it illegal in? Is it illegal in the US?
So you said this is only for 2.4 GHz? Meaning it will not boost my signal on a 5 GHz stream?
It will work for 5Ghz but it will not give as much gain because of the different frequency. 5.8Ghz is a Harmonic of 2.4Ghz which is why it will work but it's better to get a directional antenna for 5Ghz
Can you connect this to a wifi pineapple?
Yes pineapples have detachable antennas since you asked that 2 years ago, you probably already know that by now lol
Could I use two,?
Anyway to install this in ones car and connect it to onces cell phone? Like to amplify a wifi signal from my car.
I guess you missed the part of it being directional.
It’s not illegal just depends where your at
so it's both :)
Can this be done with 433Mhz?
Yeah that antenna would work with 433 though wouldn't be as effective. But you can get antenna for 433Mhz easy enough
Does this work with a repeater?
I have a frigin cheapest netgear up outside my uncles building witch is 200 feet away from the router lol its thru wps
What's a ROOTER? (grin)
It's used in gardening helps the roots of the plants grow lol
i'm rooting for ya :)
Can this technically be used for evil twin attacks and deauth attacks?
it can yeah
@@Brains933 thank you
Good
Can a yogi antenna be used with a helium miner?
A yogi antenna can be made from a pic-a-nic bas-ket, eh Booboo?
