Have you actually read the reviews on the shipping gear? It's not anywhere close to 4x. Plus the vaunted N has other issues, see: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1977784,00.asp > future standards isn't an issue, since you're hooking up > a bridge anyway. How do you come to that conclusion, future standards are always an issue when running hardware on alpha or beta "standards". You have no guarantee, you'll be able to upgrade to the "standard" and you have no way of knowing whether such standard will break your current setup, especially if someone else neaby is running the new "standard" hardware and you aren't. This wouldn't be the first time this happened in the wifi arena. > That said, even 802.1g may have sufficient range with a good antenna > and LOS.

Oh yeah, it was 55 miles http://digital-lifestyles.info/display_page.asp?section=distribution&id=2439 http://www.wifi-shootout.com/ Whoah, just reread that, 125 miles!!!!! -- Harondel J.
