Wireless Networking

24 dbi Antenna

Sure anyone these days can have a Wi-Fi hotspot in their house, I like the long hauls; the farther the better. Watching packets fly miles through the air at broadband speeds is such a rush. I also like climbing on roofs, towers, and buildings with no safety net. But I’m getting a little too old for that.

Pictures of past wireless networking projects have been published in the photo gallery.
