I tried to order two of them thinking I can link them together between the two buildings with WEP turned on. Well, turns out that invictuswireless.com can't fill my order. I asked how long the delay might be and if the shipping charges can be reduced since it will take longer to get it to me. I missed the phone call unfortunately, but I got an email message.
I found a crude trick to keep the RealTek wifi card associated with my WAP11. I run a script every ten minutes to detect if the link is down by trying to ping the router in the next building and in the event there is no link, I restart the wireless card. Surprisingly, this works. Thing is, the link is the weakest most useless wireless link I have ever worked with. It usually says link quality is 96/100, but I seriously doubt it ever is. The ground frozen hard, I'd hate to try and dig a trench right now. Thing is, if I can't pick up outdoor rated high quality wireless access points I might have to consider a plan B. Maybe on Monday I'll have some more information about my order and more options to consider. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
