You'd have to change some of the sizes of the elements in the antenna as
well as maybe some of the connectors, etc.  Antennas vary in size and other
aspects depending on the frequency of the signal they are designed for.

You're probably better off buying a ready-made 802.11a antenna.

Have you tried a shorter pringles can? :)

Subject: [BAWUG] can you modify a parabolic 2.4 g to a 5.8g?


I was wondering what is really the difference between the two
antenas besides price.

They look the same, can I just convert my 2.4ghz parabolic to work with a
5.8ghz card.

Thx,

Homebrew
