WIFI link over 1KM+ ??
 

Hello,
a friend has just been asking me if it's possible to join a WIFI network from a kilometre+ away?

HIs lads will be in a student building next year that is about 1km line of sight from the WIFI antenna of Lancaster uni & he is thinking of getting/making a Yagi antenna to try & connect to the network.
(they should be allowed onto it as they are students from the campus).

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it above those that involve eating lots of Pringles ??

We covered this before here:

You must have line-of-sight plus a bit extra on each side to allow for the Fresnel Zone. There's some words and numbers about it here:
