You should know that the wireless signal go straight and signal loss through Plasterboard wall -3dB Glass wall with metal frame -6dB Metal door in brick wall -12.4dB I had test the wireless signal from a house to a garage before. They are 15 meters apart and outdoor open space between them. There is 2 dB signal loss when it rains.	stuartwu (10531)

There is 2 dB signal loss when it rains. well that would mean currently my 3dbi signal can be barely picked up in the office space on a fine day so a 5dbi should be enough to get a good signal however, when it rains that extra 2dbi i get with the 5dbi aerial becomes null (thats what you are saying) so that means i should be fine with anything 7dbi or higher? obviously higher the better. correct? also can some1 link a good site to buy one from please, the ones i see here seem... weird.	calebcc (13939)
