Hi friends,
I am an idiot in radio communication. I have a question related to linksys SRX wireless Broadband router and Netstumbler readings.
I have made a can antenna for wifi band. and I have a linksys usb adaptor too.
I Installed Netstubler in my pc and Netstumbler detected my USB adaptor. now I set up the broadband wirless router abt 5 meter away from usb adaptor and powered up (sorry, my room is only 5 mtere wide). Netstumbler detected the broadband router with a signal strenght of -50 to -30 dbm. now I removed the three antennas from broadband router and connected my own can antenna and directed to my usb adaptor. distance is same as before. Netsumbler now getting a signal strength of -30 to -5 dbm.
What does that means? my antenna is getting a gain of 20-25 dbi?
I really confused with the netsumbler readings.
Please help me.
