I use to do that around my neighbourhood when I was a student, I setup a wifi network that I sold off access to for international students, Had great coverage and about 15 students at a time using it with some qos config from my AP's
Good way to make some extra cash when a student. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Tuesday, 31 May 2016 1:00 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming Agreed, I used an M5 rocket as well. With their gear I’ve been able to clear 50 miles or more port to point so it doesn’t surprise me you got fairly far. Florida in the US has interesting geography where it is extremely flat. I think the highest point above sea level is 8 feet. Because it’s so flat signals carry for miles and miles where they would not in other topographical conditions. So we could set up point to point wireless links over miles to light up neighborhoods and then use smaller hardware to distribute the signals around the local community. > On May 30, 2016, at 5:54 AM, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Hi Scott, > > I've got a ubiquity M2 rocket and 13Dbl omni directional antenna on my roof > putting out a signal not quite strong enough to get to my place of work, but > the high school across the road from my house gets it and my neaces made use > of it when they were at the school, Ubiquity is great stuff and reasonably > priced and very easy to use > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Granados > Sent: Monday, 30 May 2016 4:24 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Apple pulls Airport routers, possible refresh coming > > By the way, if you want enterprise features like that for non enterprise > prices, hell even lower than Apple prices check out Ubiquiti Unifi access > points. > http://www.ubnt.com > > they are about $100 or so per unit and support all sorts of protocols > including AC, they support captive portal, roaming profiles, VLAN tagging and > much much more. > > >> On May 29, 2016, at 11:38 AM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <listse...@me.com> wrote: >> >> Yeah, I’m with Tim here.
