Re: Wireless Internet setup

More than the distance relative altitude is also very important. If there is
a obstruction inbetween there is no way you can connect. Get a GPS and do a
site survey between both points.

If there is no obstruction then use a Senao outdoor Bridge at your end and a
Senao outdoor AP with a 23 Dbm Semi parabolic antenna at both ends.

Have a unique SSID and change the IP of the AP and Bridge to some class C.
Dable around with the frequency for best throughput.
