So what kinda setup do I need to use the WiFi at places like Pilot or T/A all the way to the back of the lot? Will a 6 Dbl or 8 Dbl omnidirectional antenna be strong enough to pull in a good signal or will I need a directional antenna?

The closer to the hot spots the better, they're mounted where they can be seen.
I'm sitting not more the `120 feet away from one right now... aaaa its still slooooowww
I tried a directional a few years back.. once again, still had to be close and still slow
forgot all about that til now -
so Omni or Directional antennas didnt help boost the signal at all Hu?
-
I think they would help if you could get them up enough to have a clear "line of sight" to the transmitter so the signal wouldn't drop every time a truck rolls by.

In the now, they may have better quality to offer today, I used that in 04/05,.. seems I forgot to turn on the inverter when leaving that last comment, once this unit had a good power source wifi speed picked up
-
maybe you could put the antenna on a extendable pole like i have seen other drivers use for there hd tv antennas.
