How far will this setup go?

I have a customer with two YAGI antennas connected to two Linksys WRT54G V2 access points. In ideal conditions how far can I seperate these two access points from each other? What is the radio power of the linksys box? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ethan

It depends..... on :-

  1. what is between the antenna - walls, trees, etc
  2. what local interferers exist - other wireless LAN users, microwave ovens, cordless phones, wireless doorbells, ...
  3. the gain of the yagi antenna.

With no special antenna and two brick walls I (usually) get a signal level of around -70dBm to -80 dBm over a 60m distance, and a data rate of around

1MBd to 6MBd. The power level is around 20dBm (I think) - ie 100mW
