Re: Is there a FAQ for WISP? A few questions. Superdog, when I say "router" I mean "way to turn one Ethernet port into multiple and also a WiFi network". Yes a switch may work, at least for some WiSPs, but most people get a NAT\router because that NAT\router also has WiFi capability and people want that.
Also, when the local WiSP set up my 'net service here they gave us a crossover cable to use with the wireless radio to connect to one computer...the router that we had didn't work with the service...this crossover cable was on the other had not needed to the then static IP service into the router.
Now they use DHCP, though I have my still-static IP (grandfathered) keyed into the router. Okay, it's not that static. When they switched to DHCP they changed the IP, and a few months later when they switched backbone providers (AT&T -> Qwest) they switched it again. I think they also forgot to un-firewall me on the new port :/ | |

I was just trying to help clarify the difference between EVDO/3G cellular and what a WISP is.
