Wi-fi antenna - omni vs. yagi
I'm looking at adding a booster/repeater system to our travel trailer, in the hopes of getting some better access to CG wifi. I understand that it probably won't be able to stream movies, etc. but I ...

I have run across a chart from Weingard showing some gain figures which might be helpful in finding better reception.
Weingard Chart
The "View" link shows you 24 pages of antennae in order to see what they look like.
NOTE: for the most part, gain and directivity work against each other. If the directivity is increased with more elements, the narrower the field is but gain will increase.
An omni-directional antenna will basicly have a gain of 1 (one), not counting any amplifier that is attached.
The chart shows in part the distance one can possibly receive a signal from. This at least will give you an idea of the relative gain between any antennae.
