Howdy, It varies quite a bit. Trees and other obstacle cut down the distance and the type of antannae you use can affect it greatly. Unless this is out west, in an arid, flat area, it is unlikely it will work without a little extra work. The good news is that it is not that hard. You need

That would most likely be the Gigabit model, unless we're talking about an upgraded G4. The Yikes was basically a G4 welded on to a G3 motherboard. If you ever do have the opportunity to own a Yikes, run away. Eric On Saturday, September 12, 2009, Lawrence David Eden lde...@comcast.net wrote:

Alternatively, I have found articles online that show how to build a wi-fi antenna out of an old satellite dish and a few assorted bits and pieces. You can pick up signals several miles away using one of these. There are several places you can google to find plans using different parts with

I wouldn't be worried about lightning or underground currents, as Cat5 is decently insulated, but wireless would be much easier, and I guarantee that N would reach, provided it doesn't have to go through too many walls to get there. Bill Connelly wrote: No special concerns for lightening?
