i love the way that web address starts with "http://geek"

Anyone know stuff about setting wi-fi up to cover a small community - roughly 2 mile range?

I would expect 7 miles is the max..after 7 miles the curve of the earth comes into play.

Thats why No radar decteor can go more then 7 miles ;-)

hey check this site out man http://www.guerrilla.net/ it's a wifi revolution...

hehe... thanks Jackson!! :winkwink:

np :thumbsup

Yep, we've done it a couple dozen times.

that's what i was getting at ... but would it be possible to set one up in your house that could by itself reach a long distance...you'd need an amplifier or whatever attatched to it i suppose...but im getting there.

Why exactly would you want that?

We got a pair of AN-50's from Redline - they can do up to 50 miles with rates of 72mbps. They're expensive buggers - but if you truely are looking for long distance range in Wi-Fi, redline is the way to go.

Lots of business needs for wireless - it's cheaper than fiber, and in remote areas where high speed may not be available, you can drop down a T1 and some WiFi antenna's and start offering it yourself.

Have you looked at Motorola Canopy?

WOW

that's what im talking about

how big are they physically and what do they look like...are they cones, dishes, or a cylindar...

the less you know...hehe

just kidding...

im writing a story and wanna make it as believable as possible...
