Correct. In a way.

Probably not home wireless kits. They are usually a few metres.

The 'antenna' looking pole I have on my roof give people who live within a 20km distance wireless from my base.

:D

err??!!!

an AP will do 10 metres EASY,

i don't know what "home wireless kits" you're talking about.
This is wireless as in wireless networking, not infra-red or bluetooth :P

wireless ap's standard at around 65 - 85mw with my internal wireless on laptop will go at 11mbit atleast 40mtrs in a circle.... brickwalls, insulation, clay, water, steel.... are bad fir wireless..... basically if its solid ur gona loose alot of signal..... the at in my rackcase in my room gets to me 15 mtrs away easy through metal and a wall or 2....


your higer power AP's will go a greater distance.
100 - 200mw........ also you can add an aditional antenna,,,, ans omni say 8db..... we use these all the time and they cover a great distance for their size..

your situation you should get away with bloto
