2. Long-range Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi

   Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access. Wi-Fi networks have a range that's limited by the frequency, transmission power, antenna type, the location they're used in, and the environment. [ 1 ]

3. WokFi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WokFi

   A commercial Wi-Fi antenna, usually a USB Wi-Fi dongle, is suspended in front of the dish, attached by cable to the computer. The WokFi antenna is considered simpler and cheaper than other home-built antenna projects (such as the popular cantenna), but is a very effective method to boost the Wi-Fi connection quality, audit access point coverage ...

   Wi-Fi is a technology that enables personal computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and digital audio devices to connect to the internet wirelessly within a network area. Wi-Fi access points can cover small areas like a room or extend to several square miles, providing internet access.

5. Wireless network interface controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_network_interface...

   A wireless network interface controller (WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves.

6. Piggybacking (Internet access) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggybacking_(Internet_access)

   Long range antennas can be hooked up to laptop computers with an external antenna jack, which allows a user to pick up a signal from as far as several kilometers away. Since unsecured wireless signals can be found readily in most urban areas, laptop owners may find free or open connections almost anywhere.

7. Cantenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantenna

   A Pringles cantenna for Wi-Fi. The cylinder portion of the can may consist of metal-coated paperboard.. Although some designs are based on a Pringles potato chips can, this tube is too narrow to increase the 2.4 GHz signal by a useful amount, [1] although at 5 GHz it would be about the right size.
