can i use RG59 coax cable to conect an outdoor WiFi Antenna into my pc inside the house?

Hi,im trying to conect an outdoor WiFi Antenna(roof top),and i have plenty of RG6 coaxial cable....will this work or not...what type of low cost material can i use in this project...it will have to be at least 2oft of cable....please help.


It's not something I would recommend to carry a 2.4GHz signal, but it might be good enough. Something like LMR 200 would be more appropriate.

If you're trying to keep the cost down, have you thought about building a waveguide antenna and using it indoors?

How does an outside wifi antenna work?

I know you mount it outside, but does it have a cable that plugs directly into your computer like the smaller wifi antennas?

CTIA 2013: Network products for antenna alignment, portable Wi-Fi, backhaul

Sunsight Instruments announced a new firmware release for its AntennAlign Alignment Tool, which ensures that antennas are installed properly to meet performance expectations. The new features include a simpler graphical user interface that allows operations to be conducted faster, and enhanced reporting tools.

Sunsight’s equipment replaces magnetic compasses, relying on GPS to position antennas according to RF design and providing documentation on the installation, and is often required by wireless carriers and used by general contractors in order to reduce the need to re-visit sites to adjust the equipment.

John Vetter, VP of sales and marketing at Sunsight, said that tower crews often spend as much as 50% of their time returning to sites to make corrections, and that the company’s equipment allows crews to spend more time on new sites because they install antennas correctly the first time around.
