> So this is a little off topic, but here it goes anyway. Has anyone done and work attempting to push a 802.11b signal over a long distance. I'm thinking of somewhere in the range of 200-300 meters (outdoors). Some antennas claim they do this now but I would like 90% signal at 200-300 meters, not the reduced 1 meg signal. > > My second questions refers to line of sight vs. a "blanket" signal. Optimally I would like to have a blanket type signal projected for 200-300 meters, not a line of sight (because I'd like to move around). > > Has anyone played around with this? I am running 802.11b at the house but I don't have any external antennas on my Orinoco access point. > > Greg This is a fairly constant topic on alt.internet.wireless. I think the folks at orielly got one to go five miles..
