It requires a directional antenna and line of sight for both antennas. Only people in the path (or very close) to the path would be able to sniff. I would imagine that they would have to be pretty close to one of the endpoint to actually get on and do something.

Not that this has anything to do with anything but I think Scott is correct.

Farther and further can be used interchangeably when the word in question functions as an adverb, and distance is involved. However, in this particular sentence the word in question functions as an adjective. Therefore, farther and further are not interchangeable.

Farther is used when distance is involved. For example: The farther south I drive, the closer to home I get.

Further is used when information is involved. I need further information before I can make a decision.

Therefore, "farther" is the appropriate word and both are not grammatically correct since it is acting as an adjective, describing Wifi connection.

I think you should look at a dictionary before you post. Just because your city block uses only farthest for distance doesn't mean it's the "correct way". Google up "farthest and furthest" and you will get a better picture of the world.

In other words, there are variations in English usage. It is because of variations over time that we get some of the different languages we have now.]]>Aug 28th 2007 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/Aug 28th 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/Aug 28th 2007 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/Hy Thomas. If you have 10 years wifi experience (802.11b was deployed in 1999....), you have to know that there's no limit on gain for receiving antennas. You can transmit with 1 x 2,2dBi dipole and receiving with a 70dBi antenna and staying legal.

After that, you have to read better the news:
"...[CUT]the Italian Center for Radio Activities (CISAR) [CUT]...".
They (we) are radio ham, so they (we) have higher EIRP limits than which ETSI imposed to the european market.

P.S.
Sorry for bad english, i'm only an italian ham... ;-)]]>Aug 28th 2007 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/]]>Aug 28th 2007 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/Aug 28th 2007 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/world-record-5ghz-wifi-connection-spans-189-miles/http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16548
