Wireless connection distance and... We have some property, and one building will have a pc hardwired to the internet.  I'm curious as to the distance I could shoot a wireless signal from that hardwired pc, to other buildings/areas on the property?  Via a road, the distance is maybe one mile, but a straight line shot would be less. Somebody at work said that they've received a wireless signal from their home pc to their laptop, up to roughly 3 miles from his place?  I figure it's most likely another wireless connection he's intercepting, but would truly appreciate some additional comments regarding the distance I could shoot the signal. In addition to the distance, what would be my best choice of wireless router (no mac involved), to tackle this, and even wireless cards, since there may be more than one pc or laptop being used at any given time (shop use, home, etc.) I've heard that what I want to do is not really a problem, but I'm such a noobie to this stuff, doing it is another story for me.  Thanks for the advice.

BikeRepairman on Jan 6, 2007 at 12:03:33 AM (# 2) This message has been edited. with the standard antenna attached maybe 300m/1000ft indoors about 50m/150ft, depending on the type of walls and interfering equippement. For larger distances we use external antenna. with a 60cm 21dB di-pole antenna we do over 2miles (3.5km) point-to-point. with a 90cm 23dB di-pole antenna we managed to do 5.5mi (8.5km) point-to-point. both had a clear line of sight. The 19dB onmni-directional antenna at 10m/30ft height provides us with a footprint of about 1 mile. note: we use wireless only to bring the signal over distances outdoors. in-house it's all wired. For the router part, pick a brand of router with a reputation. not some el-cheapo thing from the supermarket. Try to find one with a detachable antenna (so you can attach an out-door antenna if needed) and a build-in switch (to attach your hardwired pc to it.) We use linksys accesspoints and switches. (3com is a little more sensitive) As router we stilluse the standard modem/router for the xDSL. A pc runnning Clarkconnect is (still) being prepared to replace the router.

This was a very good read and i will be coming back for more in the future. I also like to read about Computer Repairand also Website Design and even more time spent doing SEO Aylesbury bod1467 on Nov 8, 2011 at 5:28:18 AM (# 4) Necropost SPAMMERS are getting better.
