Ok, I see I need to clarify that statement. I was not disputing the fact that an RF transmission could not be extended to cover greater distances by using a yagi, beam or parabolic antenna I know this and yes I also read that section on point-to-point power limits.
The situation I was thinking of was of a wireless router or access point with an out of the box physical configuration using the two supplied omni-directionals (that most wireless routers come with) being mounted say in the center of the 1st or 2nd floor of an office complex in a metropolitan area. Is it realistically possible to pick up a signal from 7 miles away without any modification whatsoever to the transmitting station? If so what type of setup would be required on the receiving end?
