:Enough with using ****ty unlicensed spectrum competing with 1000s of other APs and 2.4 devices. Wifi doesn't even have transmit power control so it basically spews black smoke into the air. Time for the FCC to make a band dedicated to municipal telecom services (cellphones/broadband) so we can get carrier grade muni broadband, most likly over wimax.
2.4 Ghz can go far with the right equipment
please note i am using an Buffalo WHR-HP-G54
HP means High Power
With an Amateur Radio license, you can get 30-60 miles if you try.
