| 1371986 | 2014-04-05 02:39:00 | Hi all, Wondering if there's somebody somewhere in the Auckland region who has any long-range wifi kit who would be willing to meet up with me and "show me the ropes" a little bit? I have a project coming up where I need a long-range wifi setup for a few hours to provide internet access to somewhere that can't normally get 3G data. Does anybody have any experience with this ? Cheers Chill. |

For even more distance use one at each end and point at each other. But as for specialised long range gear, nope not a clue. Those are just high gain directional aerials I linked. |

| 1371989 | 2014-04-07 03:21:00 | Have already been in touch with Go WiFi, but because our setup is rather "unique", we'd have to travel for around 6 hours to get to deploy it. We'd rather experiment first locally to ensure it'll work before having to invest a grand worth into it. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

That works over pretty well over long distances, in my case over 7-8km, Not exactly the same as WiFi but close, and of course my aerial is picking up a wide area signal. Just an observation, very few clues on the tech side of it. | PPp (9511) | ||
