  1. I don't see why this wouldn't work I've fashioned a usb wireless adapter in a waterproof container to the arm of an old satalite dish facing back into the dish and made a long usb cable out of shielded cat 5 cable worked great and I recieved wifi signals from as far as 6 miles away (as the crow flies) my connection at 6 miles was only 34 percent but none the less I could connect My best connection was 2.5 miles away at a 94 percent connection I will say this though Weather plays a huge roll in the connection percentage snow seemed to be the worst as I would completely loose signal however when raining it was only about a 21 percent drop...still effected connection speed though..its also best to mount the modded wifi dish on a rotating platform so that you can dial in the best connection and I found that the optimal distance between the usb wifi adapter and dish was approx 2' 41/2" this was using a Netgear wifi usb adapter results will vary as I purchased a linksys usb wifi adapter and couldn't even get enough signal to connect...not really sure why as I figured linksys would be better but anyway hope this helps..
