Sorry to bring this up again, but I am somewhat confused by the varying
claims and counter-claims I have seen on this group...
I have seen a lot of effort going into making the signal strength 100% by
installing loads of kit... and yet there is concern over wireless emissions.
Is 100% signal strength mandatory for a wireless connection to work
reliably?
I have a D-Link unit which worked (albeit only over a couple of rooms) with
very poor signal strength, eventually traced to the antenna wire not being
soldered to the pad on the PCB.
Can a PC / Laptop work happily at the hundreds of meters distance from the
WAP as claimed in the literature... my limited testing seems to indicate
that this is possible...
So, is anyone using this technology over the 28, 000 meters I have seen,
claimed for some of the hi-gain antennae?
Is it reliable at this distance, and what factors are likely to influence
this reliability? Rain / Snow / weather? Motor traffic? Electrical
appliances?
Does anyone wish to claim the longest reliable link, and explain how it is
done?
Regards
John
