Personally I'd stay clear of re-purposed consumer grade equipment and go for something rated for outdoor use. Ubiquiti has been putting out some great products at really good prices. If you can put up an antenna somewhere with line of site to all the locations, I'd consider one of these: http://www.balticnetworks.com/ubiquiti-airmax-5ghz-ptmp-omni-directional-mid-range-link-starter-kit.html Be sure to check on the wireless frequency restrictions with your local government though. What's legal here may not be there. Corey /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
