Long Distance Wireless LAN Help

what other stiff are you planning on using Velvet-Dreams? And pls explain to me how you propose to make one big wifi mesh? What is involved?
 
Hang on guy's ... jeeeesss ... a 24Dbi 2.4Ghz grid can boost a signal to around 30km (depending on the source AP), if everybody had to do this nobody will be able to run a WiFi link anymore. The amount of "noise" this link creates is enormous. A router is only required to keep your local traffic local and your WAN traffic on the WAN. Therefore you should consider if you want to setup a backbone link or just a point to point link. If you are going to get more people onboard you must consider the backbone. If you've got allot of trees you will have to get above them, a tree will absorb a 2.4Ghz signal like hell. Think of any thing containing water in a microwave. The water absorbs the signal. You might consider 5.8Ghz, your penetration through trees will be allot easier. In short, I will strongly suggest you talk to www.miro.co.za before setup, the f—up factor is huge when it get’s to long distance WiFi links without LOS.
