Oh, and what I'm trying to do is use the EnGenius for reception and then have it connected to my computer via ethernet. I won't use it for broadcasting the signal via wireless.

I cannot understand how it works, but I've put up a cheap wrt54g flashed with dd-wrt and it catches the signal very nice, so I'll just use it instead of the expensive EnGenius...

I've found out the EOC5611P does not have an internal 2.4 ghz antenna. Only 5 ghz. Than I understand why it cannot catch 2.4ghz signal.

I just bought an EnGenius EOC5611P. I set it up about 200 ft from a building where I have a simple linksys router inside the building. It cannot catch the signal, where as just about any laptop can get a low signal, even if the linksys is not visible. Is this how it's supposed to work or is the EnGenius not as high powered as advertised. It's advertised range is 30km. Is this true?<br />

Would the engenius reach even 10 or 15 km if the 2 devices were visible to each other??

Laptop receives signal, high power long range EnGenius does not. How does this work?

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
