Small scale wispHi is there a way to set up fixed wireless internet just for my own home that I can regulate on my own? I just want faster internet without signing up for overpriced crappy internet. Wisps in my area are nonexistent. Suggestions...logical options? |

Welcome to DSL Reports
Basically the answer is no. If you could set up your own WISP, you would no longer have a problem with low speed.
Think about the problem in basic terms, to be a WISP you need a way to connect to the Internet. If you wanted to set up a small scale WISP for you and a few of your neighbors you might be able to justify the high cost of a fiber connection to your house.

Could you use a 3G/4G dongle? Do you have a cellular provider? It can be done with most manufacturers, but here is a example of one. » www.dlinkmea.com/site/in ··· ails/530 |

Uh, he clearly said "without signing up for overpriced crappy internet" (said dongle will be both and has a 2-yr contract). Around here the local cable co is cheaper, faster (as fast if not faster then 4G), and has no caps or contract. |

That is not clear at all. I was just trying to give another solution other then "no". How about we let the OP decide what post is relevant and what is not? |

yes, check out the wisp forum....
But your best bet is to find a high speed connection, then wirelessly link it to your home. ISP's are about getting the bandwidth from where it's located to where it's wanted. |

Yes, you can do it on your own but if you think your current options are expensive you are in for a bit of sticker shock. Expect to pay $500-1000/mo for 10Mbps not including your hardware. |
