I was afraid that would be the case. I guess I'll probably have to pitch the 450i to them. Although honestly, I'm not really all that certain 900 MHz will even cut it. This is for the city water company. They have a well up a canyon. About 1/4 mile down the road, they have a cistern. They have Internet at the cistern and want to get it connected to the well because they want to install some security cameras and a DVR at the well. Problem is that there's a rock outcropping between the two sites. Back in my WISP days, we did 900 MHz through trees. But I never tried it through rock. It was finicky enough through trees, so I'm not sure I even want to try going through a rock/hill. I figure there might be some reflection off the canyon walls that might help, but for the cost of a 450i (especially the AP), I'm not sure I want to gamble on it. That's why I was hoping for a cheap solution. Maybe I'll try the eBay route and see what I can find.
