Hi everyone, hope you do not mind an off topic post, but I need some advice. I have posted on a number of computer forums but got no reply. While jealously watching a couple of yatchs set sail I realised that the sailing people will know all about antennas and they are the ones to ask.
I need long range antenna for my laptop that will enable me to get a wiffi signal in a hotel room that is available in the lobby of a hotel.
I was thinking of buying one of these

or
http://www.ebuyer.com/262943-tp-link-tl-ant2414a-antenna-outdoor-directional-tl-ant2414a
Now someone told me to buy one of ebuy like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130704691405?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Can someone please give their opinion and give me a brief lecture on antennas, like what is dbi (I am guessing it is the range of the antenna)
what is the difference between Horizontal Beamwidth 30°
Vertical Beamwidth 30°, and Horizontal Beamwidth 60°
Vertical Beamwidth 76°
Thanks
