Unless the target is a Western Electric 500 desk telephone, ca 1965 or
70.

I have seen footage of someone putting a 30-06 round through the
network of one (with the case off) *while the set was active on a
call*.

It stayed working, clearly, or this anecdote wouldn't be especially...
anecdote-y.

I will note that I have a NetGear MR-814 recently installed at my night
gig, the State Theatre in St Pete, and to my surprise, at 4 ft above
the floor, it hits damned near every spot in the 100'x300', 60' tall
*plaster and lath* building like a ton of bricks.  I was shocked,
*shocked*, I tell you.

I'm pretty sure when I move it to the center of the building, it will
cover out the back door where the tour buses park.  :-)

And the firmware doesn't suck either.
