Problem was, we'd never done any wireless before, I was given the job as: "go there now to fit it; best go pc world for the bits as we've not got any". and not having had a chance to look into it and source some decent kit, all I could find in locally available retail stores was some cheap Belkin access point that wouldn't work in bridge mode (at least, I couldn't get it to, at the time.) And certainly no directional antennas to be seen! The "line of sight" was also very tight ... imagine: (*=wireless) .----- *| unit |__ |__ | `--- == road == -------. ___| ___| unit __|* | -------' If you extended the back of one unit, and the front of the other, was about 1/2 meter gap. All walls were sheet metal clad. (couldn't get ANY signal with the A/P inside and me with the laptop outside 1 meter away from it.) I imagine there were lots of reflections and suchlike as the signal travelled alongside these walls..
