xGROMx Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 .....didn't think this would be with computer hardware...... I have this wild vision with a few freinds in my nabor hood of a large wireless network so we could connect all three dsl connections also. My oncern is the distance between houses......the farthest distance is 400 feet. I am working with mostly linksys and all i see with them is 100 - 150 feet wireless. I could alwatys put up an external antenna, that should put out and receive better..... its jsut an idea......i am looking for other opinions.......better hardware anything.....ideas.

+John Teacake MVC Posted June 19, 2003 MVC Share Posted June 19, 2003 the newer cards go up 2 a range of 1500ft so u should have no problem. although ive got some new belkin ones. 54g ones and they dont work at all. never mind u could try a different make.

xGROMx Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 i saw some sites with the pringles cans, up to 10 miles if direction is pointed right at other can. i am just trying to get the neighborhood up pretty much.....i was looking at the linksys access point's figured one at either place and use them as a bridge........buti don't know how to go about the antenna situation.
