WiFI info.	by PecosDave	2002-10-18 06:10:48
Ideas kicking around in my head. I'm thinking about presenting an idea to my homeowners association about getting WiFi access to the whole neighborhood. My questions: Does anybody know of any hardware that can support both 802.11a and 802.11b? I know 802.11a hasn't been around for way to long but I don't want to exclude eaither. (airport to if happens to "upsize for 99¢" philosophy) Whats the most practical way to cover a large area? I don't know a whole lot about the broadcast nodes. I know I can do better than putting a whole bunch of little Linksys wireless hubs everywhere and stringing Ethernet all over the place. If I work this properly I might be able to talk them into it and become the technical resource on it at the same time. (technical resource=backbone to my house) The head of the home owners association likes the idea, and if we can make it practical and not way to expensive it may be doable. Hardware links are what I'm really after, also best bang for buck backbone ideas would be nice. I still haven't figured out how to collect funding if this happens but with enough support we could have one of the coolest neighborhoods in the city as far as technology goes.
