    Building outdoor wifi net

    It would vary in size a lot. It's for mobile, ad hoc use.

    Building outdoor wifi net

    Thanks; I think I'm on that track, and looking at a bunch of the Ubiquiti equipment (they seem to have really nice tech support, so I'm leaning their way although there are other vendors, like EnGenius). The software has a scanning function built-in so that you can pick an open, strong signal...

    Building outdoor wifi net

    Bridging would work if the second downstream device were connected by ethernet; I think when I was initially looking at this I thought it could go wifi to wifi, which would cut the bandwidth. And I still don't know which device should be the router, optimally. If I had a NanoStation getting...

    Testing access to my home network

    I'm stuck at home and have been trying to configure some stuff on my home computer. Usually I test access to it from work, but I won't be there for a while. How do I test access from outside my LAN while I'm actually within that LAN? I am using a static IP and everything is behind a 2Wire...
