Hey guys,<br>I'm kind've new to this, now pretty close to establishing a short (250 metre) link to a friend. I only have one AP (UltraWAP / Edimax) at the moment, and we get a relatively stable connection (5.5 mbps, ~90% of pings going through typically at < 10 ms) using a USB dongle held up in the air with a saucepan behind it (seems to produce a slight boost, and at the very least it filters out noise).
<br><br>Anyway, before we commit to our second AP purchase, we'd love to test with a second AP (preferably something running dd-wrt or another UltraWAP / Edimax). If anyones willing to lend us one for a few days, I'd be EXTREMELY grateful.
<br><br>We're down on the Mornington Peninsula, and I can pick up gear from anywhere nearby (bonus if you live near a trainstation)<br><br>Also, if anyone is willing to lend me a high gain antenna to see if it'll help us at all (and also to scout around for other links, the area is pretty dry node-wise but there's a couple across town I could have some luck with).
<br><br>Oh, and finally - if anyone has any "free to good home" antennas they're happy to part with, I'd really appreciate it (I'm not sure if this ever actually happens, but at the moment I only have pretty standard omnis.. like I said, new to this ;)).
<br><br>Anyway, thanks in advance. I'm not sure on the ettiquette of all this, so replies are appreciated! And also, thank you for all the great info on your website/ in the mailing list, and from your members, you've really helped me
<br>-Mike<br>
