Re: Small city

True.

They could have had some different software in the product. The DLink enterprise routers only allow 52 on it at a time i think.

Its hard telling what they use actually without going and finding out.

I agree, probably a cheap router and a simple omnidirectional antenna.
While it is technically possible to use one of those cheap AP, only a limited number of users will be admitted. Typically cheap APs from Linksys, D-Link etc. can only accomodate 32 or so users at the same time. That is why enterprise/wisp grade access points are more expensive while seemingly offering the exact same service.

Theres a few cities around Ohio that are that big that are considered Cities now.

But all you need is to put the antenna on a water tower the city owns and you got it set :p

Grand haven is so small, one wi-fi router would cover it

And it probably does
