The bad guys could get a case of these radios with 10 billion digital channels: http://www.trisquare.us/exrs.htm

Get yourself a ham license, some special adapters for your AP from eBay, a 1 or 2watt bi-directional amplifier and a 15.4 Db gain omni antenna. Connect the AP (adapters) to the amplifier to the antenna. Set the AP on channel 1 (just inside the ham band), put your callsign in the AP SSID and 'ave at it. You will no longer have any problems but your neighbors will. If the peasants start an uprising have a trench broom at the ready.
