Subject: [BAWUG] multi-hop network?
Okay, my ISP is dropping all their frame relay lines, including mine. Cable Internet is not an option because they refuse to run cable TV down my road. I'm 5.5 miles from the CO, so DSL won't work. Point-to-point leased line is horrifically expensive. Satellite Internet is a last option. I might even be able to afford fiber, but that's a research project, not a reality. Reality is that I need to get from my house either to my ISP or else to some place that has Cable Internet. Reality is also that I lack line of sight to either.
So, I'm looking at having to provision a multi-hop network. What is the current state of the art? Should I buy pairs of WRT54G, cross-connect their Ethernets, and throw them into plastic buckets on rooftops, one with an onmi and the other with a directional pointing at the next hop?
