In 2021 we still had a pair of Tranzeo TR-5A for a few hundred foot point to point between two towers. I think it must have been there for 10-15 years. We would have upgraded it at some point, but it did what it needed to do for the one customer and it was forgotten.
I recall taking one of those apart and being struck by how basic it was. A sheet metal backplane. The ethernet jacks were keystone couplers snapped into a rectangular hole in the sheet metal, and it was a single board computer with a little wifi card. I felt like I could have made it myself. That’s Dunning-Krueger talking; I’m sure there are 10,000 details where I wouldn’t know enough to know I was doing them wrong, but at least on the mechanical aspects it was dead simple. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Robert Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 11:30 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Extending home network Tranzeo, what a blast from the past. First radios I bought that I didn't have to make stuff myself. I loved the way that you could hang a couple next to each other without cross interference. I so wished they would have implemented 5 and 10 mhz channels to get away from all the 802.11 stuff that started to cause such a mess. First time I took one apart I was amazed at the work that must have gone into all that foil. I started to put ubiquiti boards in them to get my 5 and 10mhz channels...

Does your house have vinyl or wood siding? And a WiFi mesh system? You might get away with a 2.4 outdoor radio linked to the house WiFi, or a mesh unit in a window.
