Wireless Signal Testing

While waiting for the boke to test the gas fires and boiler I tested the WiFi signal by pointing the antenna out the window and walking down to my parents garage with my laptop this is about the same distance as to my house.

I've copied 2 pictures to compare the signal strengths. The higher the green bars the better the signal. Between the Red lines shows the strength in the house and between the yellow lines shows the strength down the garage with the new antenna.

The second picture shows the strength comparing the standard Antenna and my new directional antenna. The green bars between the yellow lines is the directional and the red is the standard antenna.

You can see that the directional antenna strengthens the signal and this will be even stronger because I will have antennas on both houses rather than using the week one built into my laptop. The first picture also shows that the signal doesn't change to much when down the garage compared to the house.
