  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
