Hi,

Thanks for the follow-up:

As I understand it, you will be a subscriber to the WISP and want

*If* you had full control of their client, you could turn it into
a sequential repeater...but I don't think they would be keen on you
doing that to their equipment, so we'll assume you can't.

That is correct, I can't change the WISP (I _think_ they are doing
PPPoE)

That means you'll need to connect their subscriber unit to your own
access point just to even get a signal down into you direction using
a full duplex repeater set up.

Yes.

With that said...what are your expectations of reliability using solar
and supporting laptops inside a house.

I am approaching this from a fairly reliable dial-up link, which is
being discontinued by that ISP. My
expectations are a faster link (when it is up). I can service this
device as needed.

Carrier grade solar starts off at $5,000 in the southern states. It
can run two radios for five days without sufficient sunlight for
charging. Those $200 solar powered MickyMouse mesh units can only store
enough to work over night, estimated price for the $100 unit and $100
solar add-on.

If I can put one of these together myself, I imagine I could get a
fairly reliable set-up for between 5000 and 200, no?

Indoor laptops...You can set up an AP at fifty feet up, and still not
connect reliably inside to a house a mere 1,00 feet away. So you'll
need more radios.

If I need an AP at the house, that would not be that bad.

Thanks,
Duane
