Wireless Access Point

[Matt Shields]

If you're trying to do something commercial like me (provide internet
to a whole condo complex), I find it better to buy a commercial
product that is designed to do what I want and where I can call for
help instead of building a cantenna that doesn't even fit my need.
When you're building a wifi network you need to know more about
placement and antenna types to make sure you get the best performance.

Like I said the guys at Air802.com do this for a living and are very
good.  I'm satisfied and have recommend them at work as well.
