One WIFI card for recieving, second for Transmiting wifi?

[Kriptonac]

Hello guys,

I have two adapters, TP-LINK WN722N V2 and RALINK RT2561

Can I use one for receiving wifi signal, and second for transmitting it as router ??

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. But no you can't receive on one and send on the other from/to a wifi router. No you can't use one as a router to provide a different wireless network. You could use each to connect to two seperate wifi networks if more than one is available.

Does not help you a lot unless the router has the same ability. This type of function is done on some of the point to point wireless to increase the speeds because it eliminates the half duplex issue.

It doesn't really matter since windows does not have support and no router supports it. You would have to use custom written device drivers on a linux based pc on both ends. You likely are better off buying commercial solution if you really need the ability.

There really is little benefit for most people. The standard wifi is fast enough to handle most things and for things that need more they are best connected via ethernet.

I share neighbors wifi, on PC its super signal with a 28dB external antenna, but the problem is, I need wifi in the home, so when I share 'windows hotspot or even hosted network via cmd' it drops signal from antenna (but my antenna is outside and from pc signal is too low, so I'm limited to max one room wifi).

I wanted to take Ralink to capture signal and to share it via a tp-link adapter so that i could use wifi in all house

That is something different. The antenna to the neighbors house both transmits and receives not just receives.

You would have been much better off not buying a stupid antenna. You could have gotten a outdoor bridge for about the same price as just the antenna and you could have hooked it to a AP in your house.

That is still the simplest solution if you are willing to start over.

You might be able to hook the antenna to a repeater/extender. Many have multiple antenna so you could just replace 1. It will not be optimum but it should work.

You might be able to get ICS to work with 2 wifi nics but you have now converted you expensive pc into a stupid repeater. You have to be very careful what you would run on your pc when you do this. Any form of cpu spike will cause issues for traffic passing through the machine.
