Wireless Limits

Hello there,

It stinks to have a product that should provide 350 ft min to 1340ft Max of coverage. But there is a solution to help you get more gain.

Goto this website and look around. They have great higher db antennas for 1/3 the price of anew wireless router.

I think the Building to Building Bundle (89.00USD) is your best bet for this situation.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to post them on this thread, i will be checking in from time to time, or email me.

Best Regards,

DKGray, Sorry about not putting the link in.

To extend your point to point wlan use two Linksys units with roof-top 24db gain directional antennas at each end, such as the Pacific Wireless model PMANT25 antenna, available from distributor Richardson Electronics for about $75 each plus shipping and tax. This parabolic reflector antenns is approximately 2ft' x 3ft. For shorter wireless point-to-point links, use the smaller 19db or 15db gain antennas. Remember, increasing one antenna gain by 6db doubles your range. Decreasing the antenna gain by 6db halves your range. THE LINK IS http://www.rfpowernet.com/

Or check out these products at http://www.netgate.com/product_antennas.html

And yes the building to building configuration will work, i have two offices about 200Ft from each other and i am using the Linksys WAP, same problem, about 40 feet max and its all dead. This solution fixed my problem.

Best regards.

If you're going to 'broadcast' your entire business's network traffic across the street, I'd be worried about security. Remember, your network traffic is going in EVERY direction(across the street, behind your house, to the left/right, etc.). WEP iseasily cracked exposing your network to whomever. If you do go this route, get a Cisco or other top brand Access Point so you can implement additional security along with WEP.

i have tested linksys four routers and found the distance to be 150' inside one concrete room to a notebook(outdoors) with video streaming works fine. you can choose antenna right or left. or add an antenna to your system.
