Hi,
Last week at costco I bought a D-Link DWL-925 combo of their wireless Router number DI-624 and Wireless Laptop Carbus card number DWL-G650 and they were duds. They not only wouldn't pass a 425 foot outdoor test, they wouldn't pass a 175 foot outdoor test; line of eye sight no obstacles (straight across the street).
Infact the signal strength keeps alternating from 3/4 good to poor about every 5 seconds when sitting 1 foot apart!.
It's going back to Costco tomorrow.
I'd like to know of actual peoples experience of how far these puppys go outside and remain solid.
My desire is to get a 424 foot connection rock solid then I will get high speed internet and pipe it from home to my job where I sit in a kiosk all night and get to play on my laptop (with boss's full approval). I work 424 feet from home, line of eye sight no obstacles. It's diagonally across a street one short block away.
Also are there any sites anybody knows of that are for wireless networking like cdrlabs is for burners?
Thanks for any info you have.
rrrrrrich
