Comment Wow! I got Slash-Dotted! (Score 5, Informative) 271
Hello everyone,
Stop! I can't take all this attention!
Anyway I wanted to shamelessly use this opportunity to post some comments:
Since I wrote that article my network has improved significantly. I now use proper N-connectors and RG213 cable, and I've got some links at about 5km now. I now have ten nodes installed, including one AP with a 9dbi omni.
All my AP's survived the summer and winter with no problems, the oldest units have been up for more than a year now.
If anyone is wondering how well the WAP11 deals with heat, they would be interested to know that last summer we had 47degC temps, and besides the operational nodes staying up, I left a WAP11 in my car. When I got to it it was warped and melted - but it worked anyway!
I never expected this kind of attention, else I would have updated my article.
Thanks everyone for the comments and emails!
Regards, Hassan
