Hello all, first time posting here, so be gentle haha.
Anyways I am a cheap cheap person, and I love new ideas and trying them for myself. So I am searching around for a solution to my sisters internet/cell phone problems, crap reception inside, and I am finding dropping 500 dollars will solve the problem (mostly). Well to make a long story short she is enrolled in college, with some of her classes being online and like most college students she is broke. So it makes the wilson/others solution impossible. I have looked into wilson/others and have pretty much found if your not within 10 feet of the indoor antenna the signal drops off rapidly anyways.
So I can't help but to keep staring at my router thinking of a way to use the transmitter to do the job. In a nutshell I am thinking, outside antenna, low loss cable screwed into the receiver antenna on the router, and then have the router sent the signal around the house. It would require taking the 2.4 ghz and changing it to 1.9 ghz of course, but beyond that I am not sure what it would require. Could I just strip the transmitter/receiver part out and use it? I am also not sure how it is 2.4 ghz, meaning back in the day it was controlled by crystals. Now what is used, capacitors and transistors?
I have searched high and low to see if anyone has attempted this and come up with nothing, I figured the brains here could help, if it can be done. Thanks to this site I have a free dell for my wife that works beautifully after some cap replacement (shop was going to toss it in the trash). Thanks for bearing with me and any info on the subject.
