    I think it's what Server called a radio antenna. I will give a call and see if I can narrow that down a bit. I will find out what's on tower but at least as I stated there is a huge improvement in consistency. No 15 to 20 disconnects a day I would like more speed but maybe not. If I ever got...

    Jim Thank you, Service has improved 1000% since 10/15, we have had 1 morning that had a 20 minutes signal loss. This was on their end and all has been good since. All the disconnects anywhere from 10 to 20 a day have stopped completely. I installed a UPS quite a while back due to instructions...

    Last update and I'm gone from this thread. Yesterday I had a perfect day no problems at all. This was the 5th day with reworked tower and during that time I had 5 disconnects but when hitting retry button on Firefox they immediately fired back up. Previously when hitting retry buttons I normally...

    An update, the tower is now at 71 ft, finished 10/15 at noon. We have not had one WiFi disconnect since and I have spent going from web page to web page etc etc etc. I have probably bounced around more in the last 2 days than the last 2 weeks just waiting to see how many problems there would...

    Well when I started this the speed wasn't a big deal as when WiFi is working speed is adequate for my needs. It was the disconnects/signal loss that I was trying to work on. Greg, it's a good thing you added the train/car explanation because when I got to the hypotenuse part of your reply I...

    Well after the firmware update we are doing better, I have decided to go with the extend tower another 10 feet. If possible I would prefer to stay a way from a 2 yr contract and the option is still open in the future if needed. I will be calling server sooner as to keep track of future firmware...

    No the rotor right now just moves our HD antenna the WiFi Radio is mounted and does not move. Since I really would like to stay WiFi I may add another 10 ft section to go to 67 ft. My tower/antenna guy says he can get a section for 40.00 and between 75.00 to 125.00 labor to do the work. He says...

    Please understand caliber of man you are dealing with, I don't have a clue as to what your talking about as I just learned how to program my VHS last week. (well not quite that dim) I did send this info to my server though as if this can be tweaked with a better antenna how great would that...

    Sorry you've got me confused now because a Yagi is TV antenna, They have something called a radio mounted on tower, or I may be confused about what they call it but it does not look like an antenna. I did get in touch with server and they did a firmware update so I will sit for a while and see...

    Alright, I think before I jump into anything I will try the WiFi server and see what happens. Maybe I have a faulty piece of equipment in my setup. One last thing, should have put this in yesterday we are 7 miles from server tower. On one PC there is Linksys BEFSR41 router on main PC there is...

    Live in rural area had a 57 ft tower installed for OTA-HDTV and WiFi and because of dialup speed downloads of 2 to 5 kbs, yes 5 kbs tops. Now the WiFi gets me anywhere from 15 to 45 kbs and were it to stay there on consistent basis it would work. WiFi is very inconsistent, works good early...
