LOL yeah, my bad. I meant 3Mi/5km .... it's doable but its more of a proof of concept type of deal rather than an "avg joe" implementable thing. ... of course if you want it for proof or need wireless THAT BAD.. encryption wont be a concernI still am not sure, weather it'll support 5 miles radius or not, as its huge. and dangerous as well, unless until you are confident with encryption.
Or the area has free wireless (i live in an area with 2 free 802/11b wireless services)the gateway operator is fool enough to give everyone with free wireless.
Praetor said:You can get almost 5miles with a can of pringles ... course it will take some work to get it going
Realistically it's more of a proof of concept implementation but it can be done ... look through some of the older magazines (i cant remember which mag, i think it was either MaxPC or PowerPC or PowerUser or something like that, circa2001). You would just use the pirngles can as an antennawait wait wait...how tell me how?
Yeah it is I rarely use it though but yeah from time to time ill make use of it ... nothing like driving around town and downlaoding in the middle of the streetmust be nice
Some company decided to give free wireless but so that we dont completely hijack the other thread *poof*What is " free wireless area"? who ussually support it? the goverment? or just special institution?
