16g WiFi adapter tunning
This is a little show-off of what I've done with 16g wireless adapter bought from DealExtreme.com. I've added faraday cage and active+passive cooling system and remounted the device to the new casing. Sorry for the language, I know it's not the best:)
USB WiFi results using the AOU2410, 1 watt USB WiFi Adapter from caworldwifi.com. Excellent range of 3/4 mile with CA World WiFi client device for wifi.

@curlyboi89 I don’t know what your clearance in your case is, but if possible you could get away with cooling paste, a copper heatspreader and a peltier. Just an idea.

@Djbiohazard1991 well, that was pitty but i think the new one looks even more geeky – i dont really think “geekiness” is about some stylish logos… but if you find out how to stuff the cooler inside that original case, i might even go trashing for the original case:D

Hou could you throw away such nice casing with a BT logo on it =(
My geek heart broke =(

Thank you, I have follow your instructions and cracked a wep across the park from me with stable and reliable connection, everything is working now, and I will still need to buy a directional outdoor antenna, right now my setup is a mess and doesn’t look professional, in return I will subscribe to your channel. thanks again.

@curlyboi89 also, you need to use r8187 driver, instead of RTL8187 which is default. to do so, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, fing a line “blacklist r8187″ and change it to “blacklist rtl8187″. then reboot. it might affect stability while connecting as a client, but will enable you to use iwpriv. there are 4 options with iwpriv – highpower, fasttx, badcrc (recieve even bad crc packets – unrecommended) and activescan (doesnt matter when using airodump-ng to scan)

@Iovisbay i suggest you to download BT4 (final version is out there for a long time)… then you have to run some commands:
iwpriv wlan1 highpower 1 (enable the high power)
iwpriv wlan1 fasttx 1 (helps send packets faster)
iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30 (sets the actual power to 30dBm which equals 1000mW – default setting is 13dBm so try to set anything from 0 to 30 – it won’t let you set it higher anyways. you can check how much mw by “iwlist wlan1 txpower”)
replace “wlan1″ with your dev name

@curlyboi89 thanks I’m using Linux backtrack3, is the “highpower” setting on by default? while I’m cracking I use “spoonwep” app, good use. so windows only uses 19mW and Linux has the function to 1000mW if you can show me thanks

@Iovisbay well, you can certainly increase the range by a directional antenna, but keep in mind that the other side has to be powerfull too… what i caught 7km away was strong outdoor AP, not just some family adsl wifi router. also depends on what system you use… i personaly loves windows, but this tool works better in linux because you can enable the “highpower” feature and go up to 1000mW… without it, it only lets you around 19mW which is really weak…
January 21st, 2011 - 09:31
thats cool, spreading heat evenly inside, I have the SKU35405 and its but you say 7km you pick up a wifi at 7km? how the hell? please help I need that kind of range mind only picks up wifi in 1km and its 1000mw, do I need to buy that antenna that you have.

@yovotech its the oposite flow… the top is the outtake, while the intake are few holes at the bottom, a hole around the antenna connector and also it can suck some air from the top around the fan mount.
January 21st, 2011 - 10:53
Good mod, but where is the air outtake ? The intake is from the top and where does the hot air go?
January 21st, 2011 - 11:35
Sweet mod

haha this is like old people heaven…… nothing but people that are going to die with in a few years i was rolling on the floor laughing….

@WorldOfHumanWreckage hahahahaha

David,
Looks great, but you should disconnect the antenna from the computer to show the difference compared to a standard WiFi card. What would be even more convincing, use the built-in WiFi card until you lose the single, then attach the antenna, show the boosted signal, and drive further down the road.

hahaha 1 of the wifi spots was go F#%#$ yourself.
