Please tell me if my thinking is correct. Here's the setup for now. Home office RoadRunner with a D-Link DI-604 router and a few more switches, and a DWL-800AP+ (AP mode) mounted in a window 6 feet from the floor. Detached Garage (120 feet away) has a DWL-810+ bridge (actually an 800 with hacked firmware) sitting on top of monitor, with stock antenna and boxes and metal stuff near. It's connected to a 4 port hub (in case I want another ethernet connection out there), obviously 1 port connected to ethernet card in computer. I did many Roadrunner speed tests, the ones with the goofy picture and the ones with the rocket picture and text, and I consistently get 4.3 to
4.6 mbps, the same speed I get to a hardwired computer in the office. Logs show almost no dropped packets. I think this is excellent throughput under the cicumstances. Did I just get lucky with placement or are these D-Link devices really good? A side note, I did an ad-hoc network at a business this week, using G hardware, only achieving 11mbps on the signal meter, but the connection is pitiful at 30 feet. It drops down to 1mbps if someone walks by. Thanks, Rob
