Hi peeps,
I want to make use of a free to use wifi signal 200m away from my parents holiday apartment. Am I correct in thinking a 24db yagi antenna with a usb dongle that has an external antenna input I can use, plugged into a router with a USB port will sort me out?
I have direct line of sight and an external wall where I can attach an antenna to.

The router would have to have the drivers required to make use of the hardware; there's already directional AP units that can be configured as a wireless ethernet bridge.
