wiFi is a completely different bird than simply producing enough gain to the node you are trying to talk to. Assuming that there are other WiFi nodes, or users in tthe area, you need to produce enough signal so that THEY can hear you as well, because if they can't, they will unknowingly step on you. If they can hear your packet stream, they will stand by and wait for your transmitted packet to clear the band.

If this is NOT a CG and on private property or elsewhere where you know there is no other interference in the area, then you can make good use of a beam.
