Ok, I know I should have payed attention back when this was a HUGH
Thread, BUT..... I now have an application for a wired (10bT/100bT)
Remote 802.11x "Device" that can connect a Laptop, via it's internal
Ethernet Port, back to my 802.11b Access Point, which is physically
2 miles up the beach from where the "Device" will be installed.

Seems like a "Close Neighbor" (within 10 Sq Miles) can sit out on
his BoatRamp and connect back to my "South" Access Point just using
his MacBook Laptop with the builtin WiFi and Antenna. It has very low
signal levels, but does connect and he is able to do Email, and Web
Surfing. So, now he wants to be able to use this from inside his
Cabin, and I need a "Device" that will allow him to use his LapTop
in the cabin, via Ethernet to the "Device", which will be located
down at the BoatHouse. I can deal with all the extra items, like
External Gain Antennas, POE (Power over Ethernet), ect, but I need
some suggestions on what the "Device" should be, and who makes the best
units.

In the planning, I would also like the option of being able to add
a second "Device", not nessesarily the same model or type as the first,
that could be connected to the first, via it's Ethernet Port, that would
allow multiple other Clients to connect back thru the first "Device" to
my network.

I remember that all this was dicussed, IN Detail, but rather than
sift thru all the previous posts again, it would be really handy
if one of the difinitive Marine Wireless Guru's would post what
he has found as a "Working System", for the Group, and fill me in.
