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?

Can anyone confirm or dispel that rumour?<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: Bill Reid &lt;billreid@shaw.ca&gt;<br>Date: Tuesday, July 3, 2007 15:55<br>Subject: Re: [RndTbl] Point to point wireless<br>To: Kevin McGregor &lt;kmcgregor@shaw.ca&gt;<br>Cc: roundtable@muug.mb.ca<br><br>&gt; Kevin McGregor wrote:<br>&gt; &gt; Does anyone have some pointers (personal experiences, URLs, <br>&gt; etc) on how <br>&gt; &gt; to set up a point to point (house to house) wireless network? <br>&gt; I and two <br>&gt; &gt; geeky neighbours are thinking about setting up a private <br>&gt; internal <br>&gt; &gt; network to connect our houses, and we're not sure where to start.<br>&gt; &gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; The http://openwrt.org/&nbsp; site is worth a look.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; -- Bill<br>&gt; _______________________________________________<br>&gt; Roundtable mailing list<br>&gt; Roundtable@muug.mb.ca<br>&gt; http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable<br>&gt;
