Jon can you help me evaluate these for the use by homeowners? Are these useful in building all-wireless routed CWNs like the SeattleWirelss Bx node? Or only as a "parasitic network" (APs plugged into a DSL or cablemodem) http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/BxNode A real Community wireless network based on 802.11b would require at least one IBSS radio with directional antenna for uplink towards the backbone, and probably, another directional link to another node either downstream or redundant upstream. Can the routing and behavior of the radios in WAP2000 be controlled to do this? THanks Todd Boyle .
