Arr!!!, I worked on this wifi project awhile back. . I had read on several sites, on multiple people using satellite dishes to receive wifi signals over long distances. Just so happens I had a JVC satellite dish laying around. My goal was to see if I could create a connection with the coffee shop (has free wifi) that is ~5miles away.
