Situation: I have an airPoint Total Access Point at 50' pointing directly at a location 1.5 miles away with perfect LOS. I am looking for a small solution to be able to associate and get occasional access.
The location is an outdoor restaurant patio where I want to take my laptop and use my internet connection. Ideally, I would just have a PC Card, but at the distance, I doubt it would work. Any recommendations on a card with a connector and a small unobtrusive antenna I can put on the table? What gain antenna do you think I would need (given the specs on the aPT on the other end)? I know the location owner, and she would probably let me install a permanent antenna, but it would have to be very small. This is another option other than portable, but not the preferred solution... As a side note, I have been using an aPPO in repeater mode sitting in my car in the parking lot (about 50 feet from my usual table) and a plain jane Linksys WPC54G. This "solution" must go.
