   Dan,   
      
   Clearly you and Jeff and Johann know far more than most here, including me,   
   so here's a basic set of related questions which, I think, the answer to   
   will edify MANY people on this ng!   
      
   WHAT RANGE CAN YOU ENVISION FOR THIS SETUP AT THE FAR CORNER OF A PROPERTY?   
   o Either just the PowerBeam horn (set up legally) plugged into the laptop:   
        
   Or, the entire PowerBeam (set up legally) plugged into a laptop RJ45:   
        
   Pointing to, oh, say, this bullet & planar antenna set up near the house:   
        
      
   Assuming, of course, clear LOS, low to no interference, etc. stuff.   
   o I haven't tested the range, but it works fine for hundreds of feet, Dan.   
      
   Do you think it could go much longer LOS, Dan?   
      
   The second question is more apropos for JP Gilliver's "cantenna" query:   
   WHAT RANGE CAN YOU ENVISION FOR THAT SETUP TO A TYPICAL HOME SOHO ROUTER?   
      
   The answer to both those questions, would be of use to many I think:   
   a. How far can the PowerBeam connect to a Bullet (& 15dBi) planar antenna   
   b. How far can that same PowerBeam connect to a typical WiFi home router?   
      
   --   
   The answer to those questions, I posit, will astound some people.
