Question on conections

I am trying to receive a hot spot at work.
I can get it with a laptop on the roof.
I tried to hook a bridge (WET 11) to my desk unit.
It won't see the site even with a 9 DB gain antenna added.
the card is 82 Db the bridge is 85 DB.

Why

You're trying to connect to a non secure hot spot from a protected
company network, which could lead to the company network being hacked is
questionable.

No my desk top is a stand alone and off the network.
I like to receive my personal mail, that's where I am heading. I can get
company mail on another PC.

The WET11 has several modes. Make sure it's in client mode.

If you can "get to it" from the roof, there's no guarantee you can
also "get to it" from your desk, no matter how big an antenna. Do you
have line of sight? Is there anything in the way between your desk
and the hot spot? Try testing the WET11 setup with a nearby (same
room) access point.

I have used the WET 11 at other places and have tested it with a B wireless
router and am happy with it. For rebroadcast to my desk.

I think my WET 11 is poor, I cant get the distance out of the receive side.
My lap top dos great on the roof.

So, it's setup in repeater mode?

Then, drag the laptop and WET11 to the roof. Configure the laptop to
talk to the WET11. If it doesn't work on the roof, it's probably not
going to work in your office. Also, try another antenna, if you have
one.
