Im not responsible if you break anything. Dont take this the wrong way, but if you didnt know about potential dividers before you started this little exercise, then you need to question whether or not its prudent to go through with it. Are you actually having trouble with your wireless dropping out?
no offence taken .. lol.. i woud have probably used a zener and a resistor or rectifiers and a resistor .. but ur method is alot better ..... i know im probably gonna blow this up 1st try but i have one spare so i can still connect no matter what happens ... i have a bit of a bad connection but it works fine most of the time and it does me fine, currently using quite a large horn atm which gives me a 16-17dbi boost
but this is just another experement , want to mess about with long range links at some point figure the harware is more the place to start .. i mean u can always make bigger antennas easy
