LRE. I'm not aware of many 'cheap' installations of it, but its used in hospitality situations all the time.
Since I'm primarily a Cisco guy, I'd say use the following: Cisco 2950-8-LRE http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps4916/ps4867/index.html Cisco 576 LRE CPE device http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps293/ps5330/index.html this can do either 10M or 1.5M over cat-3 for up to a mile or something ridiculous like that. I am sure there are other LRE solutions out there, I am just not familliar with them. -S At 03:37 PM 3/3/2007, you wrote: >I received an email question (quoted below) from a reader in Texas and >was wondering if someone on this list has any suggestions for him? > >Steve >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >I've been trying to connect my barn to my home (400 ft) via a PTP wifi >setup.
