I want to buy a yagi type antenna to increase the range of my wiress
connection. What's the best distance I could achieve withe a modest
reasonably priced antenna ?


Where's the best place to by yagi's for wireless on 2.4ghz ? TIA

There are a number of considerations, one being the fact that the
maximum EIRP in the UK is limited by regulation to 20bBm = 100mW.

However, I suspect that provided you don't cause any interference and
no-one complains that you could get away with most things...

Most high gain antennae are expensive. But if you don't mind buying
from Poland, then have a look on eBay for some apparent bargains:

A couple of 18dBi antennae + 2 access points in bridge mode should be
good enough for several miles in line-of-sight. I have seen reports of
over 17 miles (but in somewhat drier climate than ours!).

What did you have in mind?

Hope this helps

I consider David Taylor's web page to be good reading, and contains some
specific recommendations for the UK.

I don't know how good it is, but it's only a tenner.
