    Hello,

    I hope to obtain a Digiweb connection in the near future. The problem I have
    is that the receiver will be at a considerable distance from my house. I need
    some way to get the signal from the Digiweb box to my house.

    How do I do this can anyone here tell me. I do not know alot about
    communication equipment in general. I asked this question here before but
    that was some time ago and I cannot find the answers (helpful ones they
    were too) given by people at the time. It was suggested that I use
    two small dishes and (as far as I can remember) some sort of gaming?
    device. With 128 bit incription switched on!

    TIA

    Dan

    Which Digiweb system?

    Metro has a coax connection and using Exterior grade CT125 and maybe a repeater amp or two the coax can go maybe 5km.

    The other alternative is a pair of WiFi bridges, weather proof boxes and MMDS style mesh dish/ aerials. Range LOS up to 6km.

    Limit for ethernet cable is 100m.

    100m limit can be overcome by using a router using power over ethernet which will allow you to double the distance (or treble, quadruple depending on how many you use)



    *DigiWeb Box*
    100m
    PoE Router
    100m
    House with PoE adapter


    but quicker and easier would be to stick two wifi routers in repeater* mode, one a digibox end and one at house end. Switch on encryption and if needs be change the antenna to a directional one.
