You need a card with an external antenna . must have line of sight , use a Yagi or Patch antenna. Look at hyperlinx.com If you cant see the starbucks then forget it.
Interesting , I was doing a wireless install in San Fran last week, I did a site survey at the Client site and had not less than 7 wireless systems show up on the Survey screen all of them had sufficient signal strengtyh to participate. No special antennas at all. First step get a card and see who is home. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of dijitalboy Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] Bridging 802.11 networks I have 4 starbucks within a 1500 Radius around my apartment (which is on top of a Hill (SF)). Pathetic but I'm looking to tap into their network from Home. How may I use a Linksys WAP11 access point (AP) (or other; open to recomendation) to bridge to the "Starbucks commercial network"? I also think I would need a High Gain antenna (most likley Roof top mounted) and brought down to my apartment. any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. -db ===== Visit www.dijitalboy.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
