Greets,
I want to set up a neighborhood wifi, in a somewhat rural area, houses not close together and a lot of trees in between. There would be between 5 and 7 homes involved. There is no central high point to mount an antenna on.
I barely know what questions to ask much less where to begin. If someone would point me to books and resources on the web I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
David Oklahoma City
May not be possible. How far apart are the houses?
Also Google is your friend. Have you tried it?

well - you came to the right place - unfortunately, it may be more complicated because of the trees...
How far apart from each other are the homes ? Can you see each other ?
The trees are like WiFi sponges - the leaves will soak up the RF.
All WiFi is "line of sight" - without that basic requirement, any implementation becomes much more of a challenge -
