Understanding Wi Fi!

[acidrain]

Hi guys.

I would consider myself a rookie to the Wi Fi scene but want to create a connections with up to 6 people including myslef. Would just like to know if anyone knows of any sites where i could get info or even an eBook on "how to set up a wireless network over long distances" and possibly what equipment one would be looking at. Google doesnt seem to bring up anything relevant.

Thanks

Welcome acidrain!

Why not join your local WUG? (Wireless Users Group) Are you looking at file sharing, lan games, etc etc? If so, then why not join a wireless network which is already established, and may possibly already have some coverage in your (and your friends) areas?

Where are you located?

That would probably be the best option for me, but my idea first involved friends for purposes of gaming and file sharing. Im based in the Cape Town but not sure how far the WUG extends. Im only going to be involved the the whole planning and learning stage of the whole wireless scene as I will be moving to a permenant house soon and dont want to install any RF equiptment at my current residence.

But you hit the nail right on the head with file sharing and gaming. It would also be for internet sharing.

Thanks alot for the idea tho, will be very intrested in joining a community cos you just can't have too many resources.
