And less power use  1 P3 933 with a gig of ram and pfsense. Me and my neighbors share multiple connections via these wonders. Really nice to open up a download and get 60 mbit when you can get powerboost going.

LOL nice. But I got you pwn'd. Athlon 600mhz 256mb & PFSENSE running 6 NICs.
Problem I have is due to seeing 38 different networks (or 48 if I use the big grid) I get a lot of interference. Damn channel 6 and it's 20 APs!
Also 60mbps is a bit crazy considering 38mbps is DOCSIS payload max. You must have neighbors on different nodes? How do you share the lines (wifi? then isn't 10mbps about the max you can pull?) |

Not only wireless , we have wires buried to the 2 houses next to me. My wifi comes from the 2 local school buildings they are new schools and offer open wifi in the library. They are linked with a ds3 to the city. Kind of slow about 18 mbit. And we have an apartment complex behind me. They have service included in the cost of the condo I don't even know the speed I am told its comcast but like a hotel system where you just plug in an ethernet cable.
But 2 friends on Comcast 1 On EVDO 1 in the Condo and the 2 local schools. we are all on the 8/768 option , the condo alone I can get 12 mbit , the 2 schools tap out at 18 each at night. They are wireless g not encrypted. With powerboost (when it works) and the cable connections we can hit 48 or 50 mbit. The wireless links only add at nite and the evdo is really just a back up in case comcast and the schools go down. They tend to go down around the same time a lot, but show different ips. and the ips dont show to be owned by comcast.
