Sorry for not dropping this in the networking section, but it's somewhat time critical and this section has more traffic. I'm having family fly in before Monday and need to provide WiFi to a cabin on my property. It needs to be no narrower than perhaps 10°, reach ~200' through one exterior wall. I currently have a weak signal with the stock antennas on my RT-N66U using a macgyver parabolic aluminum reflector I made, but it's pretty sketchy.
I'd like a relatively inexpensive (let's call it $20-60) directional WiFi antenna. Ideally it will connect to the connector found on a WiFi router (RP-SMA?), and have its own stand or mount within a foot or two, though I can build one if necessary. If I can get one for closer to $20, I'll buy 2. Amazon Prime is preferable for keeping shipping costs under control, but I'm open to alternatives.
