Adam,
Congrates on your ticket.
I can't say this enough, go for better antenna rather than busting the
power on your radio!
The more power you run the more power your neighbors will think they
need. If you want to
go south, then install a BBQ grill antenna points that way. You can
install a wrt54g and
the antenna for less that $120. And less if you make the antenna yourself.
The more interference that is generated, the more the FCC will get
involved! You don't
want that. I have a wireless network set up using all of the shelf
equipment. The topology
contains a 2 mile and a 400 foot wireless bridge links. Plus a 15 mile
run that is in test
status right now. I use WRT54Gs and WAP54Gs. Go to my web site for
more info.
ps. You can use 802.11a for long runs, the power limit there is 4W. The
antennas costs
the same. The radios are a little more than 2.4ghz.

Hello from Adam Kb2jpd.
It is getting cold again. If anyone notices that strange thing after my name,
it is my callsign for Amateur Radio issued by the FCC. Why mention it? Because
about this time, we hams took the time out until the end of Indian summer to
put all the necessary aerials before it gets too cold to work out in the winter
weather.
My question to the list:
I noticed in the latest 'Wired' magazine that there is a new wireless router
rated at 1 watt of power. Www.bountifulrouter.com. Their price is about $625.
Anyone seen anything done for cheaper? I has several access points here but I
would not mind putting one up I can hit further from the domcile.
Adam
