You can do this
The common way to do this is with a butterfly antenna or cantenna as a feed
just don't forget to set the dish to 0 deg (horizon)
On offset dishes u can use a 45 deg pole to push the dish down by 45 deg
Then the 45 deg mark on the dish is actually zero
Have fun

Hi all
I have an unused satellite dish antenna which I would like to convert
to a WiFI antenna... Can't quite bring myself to throwing it out.

I am a complete newbie at this, so any help, advise and/or assistance
would be greatly appreciated (rewarded with beer perhaps?).
Cheers
Serg
