Mike: Gosh it's been a while since we exchanged valuable info. Your e-mail along with a number of others slipped away... it might possibly be a symptom of exhaustion from moving :). But better late than never!
I'm considering the vegetable_steamer.so module, the satellite_dish.so module and also the loaner.so module :). Dave Donavan has offered to lend me one of his wireless gear for few days. But now that I got a lot of wireless worms out of the can - like a child in a candy store, I'm going to play with the worms... including giving this Cantenna a shot. So theoretically speaking, this is all 100% possible. Amazing! Cheers!

I know FactoryDirect has them in stock http://www.factorydirect.ca/catalog/product_spec.php?pcode=BO0024 Are you wanting to just use your laptop or bridge the network? If your bridging, see if one of our routers has a bridge mode option. Use this one at your new house. Now depending on interference, you may be able to get away with just one Cantenna at your new house pointed at the window at old house with Router in it. If not have one at each end and for that distance you should get at last 10Mbps. Mike Reza - Asterisk Enthusiast wrote: Ok Enthusiasts... I have been silent for a while & have not posted much over the past week or two (maybe more??). Before I end up spending a bit of money I want to seek the advise of others who may have done what I am intending to do now. My family and I have moved on to a larger accommodation. We still have access to the old place which is at a clear line of sight of about 100 meters. We still have access to our old premises till the 10th of this month. Our DSL will be made available in our new place on the 9th I believe. But between then and now, I can't afford to be without access to a phone/internet. I've experimented with my laptop outdoors with my router simply placed near the window. At 50 meters I have 100% clear signal - but ONLY when the speed is reduced to about 1 MBps, vs 10 MBps. For internet access, I don't need anything more than this (for the moment). I have a 2.4 Ghz Wireless Router which can also act like an Accesspoint. I have a 2nd wireless router which does not behave like an access point. My routers are all indoor routers with removable antennas. The question is --- can I simply purchase one of those CB antennas from The Source or other places, install it outside my old place, and a 2nd CB antenna to my new place attached to the router? Will the CB antennas distort the signals or am I look at something more sophisticated & expensive than a CB antenna? I know between today and the 9th is 1 week - and having no Internet Access and VoIP is not an option. As the last resort I have to bring my sleeping bag and camp over at my old place without any air conditioning :). But if it gets to that, I have the proper gear to camp indoors for a week :). What are your recommendations? Would love to hear from you all. Cheers! Reza. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
