Setting up a WIFI link between DL8RDS and DB0MHB

This project is the supertarget of other projects:

Turn a Fonera router into a link station. My Fonera router will be the link transceiver station on the DL8RDS side.
Upgrade an ASUS WL-500gP to control my RIG. I am running two ASUS routers: One to control my DL8RDS rig and the other to control the DB0MHB rig.

Progress report

2008-09-28 No good. Today it was a sunny autumn day and my friend Bernd DJ6PA was ready to help me over at DB0MHB. At my station, I placed my small tube-enclosed 13cm YAGI into a basket of clothes, directing it right towards DB0MHB, as I have clear sight to DB0MHB. Then I took the car and drove over to get the other side right. But what a disappointment. It was not possible to establish a link. Maybe it was up to the polarization, which I didn't consider at all right away (as a shortwave guy you don't have enough space anyway to care for polarization, but for SHF it seems really important). Maybe it was up to the fact that the tube-enclosed WIFI YAGI was really not worth the money. Bernd already tested it and it didn't really work well. Anyway, let's give it another try. BTW, we had a number of other problems too, mostly due to the reason that these damn WIFI engineers always use Reverse SMA instead of normal SMA. Another reason for the initial failure could have been the rather long coax cables on both sides, on my (DL8RDS) side about 5 meters, and on the DB0MHB side about 10 meters.
