gadget ... 

i used to install wifi ...      oooo a few years back ... 

anyhow get a dsl  link amp it and share the bill  i had a van full of gear but i ended up giveing it away a while ago ... 

all you need is a linksys n router throw a 2 watt rf amp on it and let her rip 

or you could use 900 mhz it blasts right through everything ... 

i have installed 900mhz - 5.6 ghz access points and user units ... 

i was able to grab signal 40 km away ....  but it was close to line of sight this 2.6 ghz and a 1 watt amp ...  we were useing a db36 ant.

ist!

you can grab amps on ebay fairly cheep ... 

IST 

can you  explain this  a little more for  those of us that  have no  experience with  Wi Fi  routers and  RF amps ?

I do know  a little  about   antennas  ....... do you know  where I could find  the  specs for an antenna similar  to the one  you mentioned?

no prob .. bill

gary ...


its really easy ...

i used an omni ant .. as my access point .. you can put a 1 watt rf amp on it ... 

then you can use any 2.6 ghz wireless bridge off the system ... we were able to pull 2+ mbps  no problem  over a good distance

only amping the access point ....   

the bridges we used were 500 ma units ... half watt  transmitter / reciever .. that with a db 36 on the roof you cant go wrong as long as your access point is high enough  like a 70" tower on a hill would do well ... 


ist ... 

split this up by 20 people ..  and costs go down fast ...
