wireless Range

[mac]

Anyone know the usabel range for the wireless technologies. I have a run between buildings. I am not able to run a connection between the buildings. I think I will need an air bridge, but am looking for ideas.

The range with the standard equipment is exaggerated by all suppliers. Divide their claims by 3 for more realism. Also outside inteference is a factor. rain, trees, wet trees much worse.

But anything is possible if you choose suitable equipment.

D-Link for example make high gain anntenna for their equipment to extend range. See here (bottom of linked page):

Or Linksys do similar.

There is a forum here that has some range discussions:
