    Curious.. how is the access point managed? A friend who lets you connect, an ISP account on a utility pole?

    The ISP remotely manages the access point. It's mounted on a tower they placed on someone's property. They may have some deal with the property owner.

    A wireless solution would be easier to implement if one existed. Right now, the only option on my mountain property is very weak cell service or satellite internet. Both costly and very limited in bandwidth. Fiber would cost a lot to run.

    I'm in a rural part of the country. I have a 900mhz antenna that points to an access point (2 miles away) across the valley (through 150' Doug fir trees) and the access point relays to another tower which connects eventually to the ISP. (00Mhz bandwidth is limited - I get 4Mb on a good day. But it beats the hell out of dialup.
