    Snip too.

     

    5ghz doesn't even pass through the walls of my house(yaaay, 200 year old house), I currently have 5 access points mounted to get coverage everywhere.  Though honestly, the 2.4ghz doesn't like the walls that much either, but I can connect to the 2.4 out in my barn from the access point in my living room.  There's about 10 neighboring access points visible at any one time.  I do agree, 5 gig is soooo much better for throughput though.  My point to point reference is in a residential area, they are rooftop mounted though.  From those radios I could see about 60 neighboring access points.  The radios really need to be about twenty feet higher, they shoot over a metal roof between the buildings, but like I said, the throughput is pretty much maxed out on them, so we didn't bother.

    2.4ghz = dropped packets or packet loss.

    The more distance the more interference.

     

    With 5.8ghz I can achieve almost" the same distance. 

    I can achieve 20 Times the download speed and completely eliminate packet loss... a long distance and long term stable connection.

     

    2.4ghz. At the same distance, identical parabolic 2x2 mimo design. completely identical setup. 2.4 will crawl on the floor and deauthenticate every 5 minutes.

     

    if you have the experience or knowledge to agree with the above. Do share plz

     

     

    You're getting interference from something if it's doing that.  I have clients running point to point 2.4ghz connections a few hundred meters apart.  You're right, it's not fast, but they don't need fast, they need a connection.  It's still about as fast as their internet connection, so they're not too worried about it.

  3. Man, that thing is huge!  The conformal coating shouldn't hurt anything inside.  I've not taken one of these guys apart, so if they have detachable antenna cables, mask off the connectors first.  Though honestly, as long as it doesn't get rain on it, it should be fine.  I have electronics in my unheated or conditioned barn that's been out there for 5 years now.  I wouldn't put it in a box, it will most likely overheat.  Since it's extra, I'd just mount it to the breezeway ceiling and let it go till it breaks.  It might die in a year, it might make it till you move.  I've been eyeing one of these to stick to the back of my house for barn wifi.  Right now I have an older AP-Pro up against the wall inside, which mostly works, but it's not AC, so I have it on a seperate ssid so the devices inside the house don't connect to it.

    I don't think any of your replies are related to the OP's actual question, haha.

    Dude's parents should follow my brother's advise.  He gives his kids tents for high school graduation presents!  So far none have stayed longer than a month after graduation.  They either joined the military, or went off to collage.

  5. It was an Itronix X-C6250.  Even when I bought it, it was outdated, but worked for kismet.

    I made some modifications to the case, moved the power port to the back so I could repurpose the hole for a wireless N connector.  I also had an Orinoco silver pcmcia card reflashed with the Orinoco gold firmware for monitor mode.
