We're a number of houses apart, though on the same block. Do standard wireless routers have the range, or should I make/buy an external directional antenna? I've heard that if you crank up the power of a typical (say, Linksys) router's wireless output beyond the default, it can burn out pretty quick. Can anyone confirm or dispel that rumour? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Reid <billreid@shaw.ca> Date: Tuesday, July 3, 2007 15:55 Subject: Re: [RndTbl] Point to point wireless To: Kevin McGregor <kmcgregor@shaw.ca> Cc: roundtable@muug.mb.ca

Does anyone have some pointers (personal experiences, URLs, etc) on how to set up a point to point (house to house) wireless network? I and two geeky neighbours are thinking about setting up a private internal network to connect our houses, and we're not sure where to start.
The http://openwrt.org/ site is worth a look.
