I recieve a 1.5M wireless 802.11b Meshbox fed
internet connection from an external omni aerial
mounted on a roof top some 300M away. My
aerial is of the square plate type fastened to
my barge board, with a wire fed through the
slates to a Netgear ME101 in the loft space.
Then into my PC's network connection via cat 5.
I would like to mirror this inst in a friends
house (same disposition).
As the ME101 isn't available now, does anyone know
if I need an AP such as Netgears WG602, or
would a considerably cheaper game addapter such as
the Netgear WGE111 (detachable ant) do the same
job?
We are on a tight budget hence the DIY
attempt.

No responce  So I bought a Pheenet WAP-011A AP/Bridge
for 28 quid from Solwise. Nightmare to get
working (that's one for another day). However, now
connected, and working fine.
Only downside is there's no sig strength meter in
the utill package. Which was handy with the old
ME101.
Cheers

Can I post a little off-topic to ask Fellsider
about his nightmare experience with the Pheenet APs?
I'm using a pair of DWAP-011AG radios from Solwise
(I think similar to the WAP-011A, but just dual
band 2.4/5.8GHz) to create a 3.5km point-to-point
link and having real trouble understanding what some
of the options and numbers on the web interface
really mean. I'd be grateful if you could spare
some time to see if you can help me with my
issues. Cheers!
