Re: wireless adapter

Connie Albisu <albisu@xxxxxxxxxxx> hath wroth:

what would you recomment for wireless adapter for distance. I need one
that can reach far.

How far? You can go quite a distance with just generic radios. For
example, 85 miles with an old pair of Orinico cards and no amplifiers.

125 miles

55 miles

The trick to long range is in the antenna, not the radio.
