I need info and help.

I have 2 friends, living at 800 meters each one, that means.. Triangle around 850x850x850

Ok, we want to be connected, for sharing, playing games, etc.

What is the minimal equipment we need for this?

Im looking and reading about Access points, cards, antennas, routers, accesories for wans, but i dont know WHAT to buy. I like series from Orinoco and Senao.
We know how expensive is this, and we dont want to waste the money. Also we would like to keep 11Mbps.

Well, we have knowledge about LANs, windows, linux, etc. but we want to explore the WIRELESS world.

Help me please.

I was surprised, the Orinoco outdoor router has the range to more than cover your area.

One caveat about wireless; your lan will be very unsecure! Anyone with compatable equipment will be able to gain access to the lan.

Other things to consider;
Are any of the buildings sheilded? Aluminum siding, foil insulation, metal studs? This can impact signal integrity for that user.

Look at this link ar Orinoco's site

Remove any spaces.
This will provide ideas for how to connect the components, and what you will need.

The Point to Point Backbone kit may be what you need.

Basically, you need a transmitter/receiver for each location, and a network solution from the transmitter to the individual PCs.

You likely will need to go with a dual system if you wish to go totally wireless.
A point to point, or Router for each location.
And a seperate network in each location.

Don't cut corners, and setup a system where you are at the range limits. Give yourselves at least a 20% margin on the range.
