   While 2.4 and 5 GHz antennas are commercially available and easily purchased from many online vendors, they are also relatively easy to make. Laptops and tablets that lack external antenna jacks can rely on external Wi-Fi network cards, many requiring only USB, which the laptop can itself easily provide from its own battery.

   Closed public networks use a HotSpot Management System to control access to hotspots. This software runs on the router itself or an external computer allowing operators to authorize only specific users to access the Internet. [17] Providers of such hotspots often associate the free access with a menu, membership, or purchase limit.

   Commonly known as "range extender amplifiers" these small devices usually supply around 1 ⁄ 2 watt of power to the antenna. Such amplifiers may give more than five times the range to an existing network. Every 3 dB gain doubles the effective output power. An antenna receiving 1 watt of power, and 6 dB gain would have an effective power of 4 ...
