| 219344 | 2004-03-01 09:10:00 | How far can wireless networking be made to go (easily) I have to connect two parts of our business temporarily because of renovations and the buildings are about 150meters apart. We currently have a 7 computer 100MPS cat 5 network. How far can 802 or whichever standard be made to go easily...I read of someone getting it to cover 20km with special antennae and boosters? |

I have got 2 desktop PC's and decided that rather then spend on hard wiring the house. 4months ago i spent $180 bought 2 bluetooth dongles and set up a wireless networking. the range is upto 100mtrs and works beautifully. i was thinking of selling the two dongles as i now no longer need it coz circumstances have changed. if you want to buy it off m i can sell it to you for $120 and i will take care of the postage if needed. |
