Hi everyone I am posting to inform of my successful setup of a wireless link 2km into the center of Bristol (UK) I have been given a great amount of help both directly and indirectly by people on this list. Thanks
My Setup I have 2x Buffalo 54G access points (1 each side). The one my side is sat in a Tupperware box (Clear Lunchbox, lol) on our roof attached to the antenna mast with a hyperlink 15db high gain mini grid antenna. Other side involves the same antenna attached to an unused coat stand and an IPCOP firewall / gateway. A full test has yet to be run but a preliminary test simulating the distance gave 650kb sec throughput (FTP transfer) Can anyone calculate the Mbit from that, hopefully getting around 18-20mbit? Hopefully I will have the link running formally by the end of the week so I can report back the overall throughput at the distance etc etc. I intend to photograph it all and upload it to my website to hopefully help others in a similar situation. BTW, im running the link in bridge mode with everything off that can be turned of (IE, not required), I am not using wep as I have locked Mac addresses and the bridge only allows the other side to communicate.
