Re: CB all over again I agree. This is getting out of hand. I have a small 2.4GHZ dish pointing down town to my access point (I am on a hill) and I can pick up (and use) about 50 wireless networks. These are all small residential 802.11 networks connected to different broadband providers. There are probably more if I decided to move the dish around since it has a small radiation pattern.
2.4 ghz phones are everywhere and completely not neccessary. A 2.4ghz phone is no better than a 900 mhz cordless phone. I think people think it is better if it is a higher frequency (Now available, 5.8GHZ phones that can go 30 ft).
We then have people competing with people. Bobby sue puts up a wireless network to use the laptop in the pool. George next door uses a local ISP 2.4 ghz connection. Since Bobby Sue put in the omni on her roof George now needs a 5 watt amp to overcome the interference. Then so does Bobby Sue. It goes on and on like that. |

Horizontal polarization. Problem solved - no need to escalate the "Wi-Fi" cold war.  But then, that would require using a little ingenuity. Nobody wants to be bothered to try that...
Hey, show me your Wi-Fi dish, I will show you my ugly hacked one, we'll compare notes.  I get about 30 miles away with mine!

OK, then what do you do when access point #3 (or 4 or 11) appears? That only works in a sparsely populated RF world. We're talking Japanese commuter train density here. |

I highly doubt it?. Unless You have found a way to adjust the timing on Your radio, that link will not work.;)
