Scenario 2: Outdoor USB Wireless solution (300m from nearest neighbour node)

Using a stick USB WiFi adapter, it is possible to plug a USB cable extender into a computer at one end and the USB WiFi adapter at the other end. The maximum distance allowed on such a USB cable is 5m unless a hub is used in between the devices. The USB adapter can then be mounted inside a tin can to help boost the gain.



Scenario 3: Outdoor Use old PC as dedicated Wireless router (300m from nearest neighbour node)

Scenario 4: Indoor Wireless router (200m from nearest neighbour node)

Scenario 5: Outdoor Wireless router under eaves (3 km from nearest neighbour node)
