Thanks for your tips&tricks, Marty! > You would be suprised at the distances you can get line of sight, 30 km > over open water however Good! Then it looks like I can even get it working well on 400m distance from my flat! And this is a beach of the Finnish gulf and a good park near to my house and only one concrete wall between outside area and the router - so summer time I may try to work directly in the park/on the beach! :) When I get rich enough to rent/purchase a yacht I will be able to busk the nearby elbowrooms of the Finnish Gulf and still be connected to the Internet via my home router! :) Just kidding...
