I have a Clear wireless broadband box at the place I'm renting a room at, but I'm at the outer edge of the tower's range. I want to boost the signal strength using a directional antenna.
There are a number of old DISH and DirecTV satellite receivers floating about, and I can get one for free. Is it possible to convert it to being a transmitter/receiver unit? I know I'll need to remove the old satellite receiver unit at the end of the arm; I just need to know what to replace it with, and if I'd need an amplifier for the outbound signal.
I'm about 2/3 to 3/4 of a mile away from the antenna, and there are trees and houses in the direct path of the signal.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
