And as far as baluns go, the setup would be to convert from 50 Ohms at the router's radio chain to 75 Ohms over RG-6, then back to 50 Ohms between the cable outlet and antenna. I see Coaxifi and Dualcomm have these sort of products. You can also find balun kits for Ethernet over coax (which are fairly common when supporting older CCTV camera systems). | |

I'm interested in the following statement: "You would need to create a balun for impedance, but that is certainly doable." That sounds like useful information. Can you elaborate on it a bit? | |
