    Anyone know about how much range it should be possible to get with a real antenna?

  3. Internet access anyone?? by TheMMaster · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You could use this as a GREAT way to transport internet to non-cabled places (or poorly cables places)
    Get a full 100Mb link (as a backbone) to a town and split it there to 1 or 2 Mbits... you could serve a lot of people that way!
    Would sure come in handy where I live!!
