[QUOTE="bicter, post: 528351, member: 1240"] The wifi/3g modem xkitr is referring to is probably this one [url]https://www.netgear.com.au/home/products/mobile-broadband/mobilerouters/M2.aspx[/url] as it has the capability to have external antenna. When I'm out bush and reception is a bit sketchy, I put my 3g modem in a sock connected with string and throw it over a branch close by and cnnect to it wirelessly. works great until the battery goes flat :) or the sock gets caught in the branch :argh: You can also set your android phone (dunno about iThings) to be a hotspot and throw it up the tree as well :) Antennas, unless they're fitted with extra amplifying electronics are generally capable of both transmit and receive.
