KCP, here's a little help. Buy something like this, a DLB2112 from Deliberant, info here: »www.deliberant.com/estore/web/pc···dio.aspx
Configure the device in transparent bridge mode and clone the MAC address of whatever wireless card you use when you sit under the tower and it connects.
Mount this device on top of your GP Medium or wherever you need access, just make sure it has a direct line of site to, and is pointed at the tower. If you really want to get fancy stick a wireless router behind it and it will give you good access in about a 300' area.
I see you are from Pearl River, grew up close by in Covington. Good luck! -- "Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it." |

Good luck! thank you for the suggestion. i am in kuwait right now. i don't have very long left. so by the time i order it, it gets shipped, goes through the inspections, and finally makes it to my hands...there wouldn't be much time to enjoy it. although, i WILL keep this in mind when i do set up wireless in my appartment. :P
and what a small world, huh? |

Could you get your hands on a Linksys WRTG54 wireless router there? If so you can re-flash it with DD-WRT and turn it into a pretty powerful little CPE like the deliberant. Ask one of your signal or Tac-Sat guys to hook up a 2.4Ghz antenna to it that is better than the original (they will have one) and point it at the tower. Whammo, you're in!
I used to be one of those guys at one time, was an 18E, spent 6 years active duty. By the way, thank you for your service it is very much appreciated.
I miss bass fishing out around lock # 1 on the river back home. Say hello to the Honey Island Swamp Monster when you get back.
If you are interested in this sort of stuff, give me a holler and who knows, maybe we can provide some service back in your neck of the woods. I am a wireless internet provider in TX and am always looking for new ventures. -- "Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it." |
