Build your homemade router
From: http://renaudcerrato.github.io/2016/05/21/build-your-homemade-router-part1/
Since I’m using Ubuntu at home, I choosed Lubuntu 16.04LTS: an Ubuntu based distro with a lightweight desktop environment (if ever needed). If you didn’t gave up at this point, I don’t need to go into details about the installation, right?
How-To: Build a WiFi biquad dish antenna
From: http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/15/how-to-build-a-wifi-biquad-dish-antenna/
Wireless enthusiasts have been repurposing satellite dishes for a couple years now. This summer the longest link ever was established over 125 miles using old 12 foot and 10 foot satellite dishes.
engenius vs ubiquiti unifi
From: http://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/2bcwfb/ubiquiti_vs_engenius_access_points/
My first choice is Aruba. If budget is a concern, go with Ubiquity, you can use a VM for your controller. You need to be aware of best practices when working with ubiquiti: Build a controller and leave it alone. Installing it on the laptop of the week and then reinstalling every time you go on site is unacceptable for a professional deployment. Configure DNS and DHCP properly so that unifi.localdomain.suffix (as handed out by DHCP) points to your controller, and configure option 43 with the IP for your controller. Run a recent version of the controller so you get the latest firmwares on your AP's! The version on the disc is worthless! That's really it, I have dozens of Unifi's scattered across the globe in two different clouds, one is a VPN based infrastructure, the other controller is accessible over the internet. Both are rock solid.

fry basket antenna
From: http://kk.org/streetuse/archives/2006/08/fryer_basket_antenna.php
Lots of low-tech household items have been used to boost wi-fi signals, starting with Pringle cans
and upward. But none have been able to match the decibel gains offered by a Chinese fry basket.
Gigabit Wireless? Five 802.11ac Routers, Benchmarked
From: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wi-fi-802.11ac-router,3386-14.html
Asus R6-AC66U Then there’s Asus, which won this contest hardly breaking a sweat. The company simply out-engineered its competition and came up with a best-in-class feature set. Even more amazing is that the RT-AC66U accomplished this in essentially a first-generation product and delivered it at a price point that handily bests its closest competition. For all of the above, we believe the RT-AC66U deserves our infrequently-bestowed Elite award.
