Ropers Knob Range Test |
Actually, from the top of one hill side down to the bottom of another (had to tilt them), but yes, using 96 mW in DD-WRT in WDS mode. I could have easily gotten more since the SNR was so good, but I was using B mode for better range (11 Mbps max in B mode)
1.2 miles isn't really that far away, this was done in the middle of the city where I know plenty of other wi-fi devices would cause interference along the way.
2 dBi antenna to boot, could have been even better had I bought some cheap 7 dBi antenna on e-bay. The 1.2 mile range has to be a typo of some kind right?
[Edit: Added image to illustrate, this is probably closer to 6,000 feet, so it's only 1.1 miles, but I think everyone gets my point. In all fairness, the weather was excellent and it was clear line of sight all the way.]
