Re: How to Build a low cost cpe with build in amp
Some one told me if you enable the amp and put the radio on 10mW it can hit up to 100Mw so if you put 100 mW it can hit up to 1000mw now sure how much true... however I did test today with hp unit 3000 feet way from my AP nlos lots of trees and housed on the way i got about -72 thing was my crazy friend he was on the roof so his moving to much I couldn't get the stable signal ... However one of forum member helping me with bi-quad antenna so I am gone make home mad bi-quad and try test on Wednesday and I will pass my result wish me luck ..... I can feel the good thing 
Btw keep posting your result |

| The output seemed to saturate with about 55 Mw drive. Going higher did not make the signal stronger, but it made the laptop start dis-connecting. Even at 45 Mw the signal was very strong, and the radio was getting hot pretty fast. 30 Mw is the most I think you should set it for.

| I just got them today and I will test them some more and let you know. The problem that you have with 3000 feet of trees and houses will not get much better, even if you put a big amplifier on each end. 2.4 GHZ will be blocked easily by the obstructions and I do not think you will have much luck with more power or better antennas. They will help a little, but still will not be reliable in the end. Think of the wi-fi signal like a flashlight. If the light from a little flashlight cannot go through the side of a house, a great big spotlight will not get through either. The wall will stop all of the light. Your obstructions are going to stop almost all of your signal, even if it is very strong to start with. You need to find a place in the middle for a relay that can get service to each end. By the way, light and 2.4 GHZ radio waves are the same stuff, just a big difference in frequency.
