   Hi Dan Purgert,   
      
   I'm advocating they plug the device into the any RJ45 they have handy   
   o Voila! Instant WiFi extended range!   
      
   Everything I speak about here is range that almost anyone here can attain   
   o Simply by using the Plain Jane Wi-Fi 802.11 protocols they already use   
      
   For example, they can plug this PowerBeam horn into a router or switch   
   o And by doing so, they instantly attain Wi-Fi range at maximum legal power   
        
      
   Note very clearly Dan Purgert ... this works with EVERYTHING they have now   
   o It works with mobile devices, laptops, desktops, routers, switches, etc.   
      
   *It works with anything & _everything_ that uses Plain Jane Wi-Fi, Dan.*   
      
   You are, apparently, advocating non-Wi-Fi protocols, for "long shots"   
   o Which is fine, for "long shots"... but it doesn't work with everything   
      
   Even so, you said (& I agree) that Plain Jane Wi-Fi can go for miles   
   o In this thread, I'm advocating use of Plain Jane "Wi-Fi" devices   
      
   You apparently have a pre-defined predilection for the non-Wi-Fi protocols   
   o But your innate preference for those specific non-Wi-Fi protocols   
   o Does not make suggestions based on Plain Jane Wi-Fi protocols "daft"   
      
   It just doesn't.   
      
   Non-Wi-Fi protocols are simply another way of accomplishing the same task   
   o Particularly for "long hauls" (where you're talking many miles)   
      
   Which is fine but that's NOT what this thread is mostly about Dan.   
   o Even pjp's distances are laughably puny for Wi-Fi protocols, Dan.   
      
   So stop saying that the use of WiFi protocols to extend range is daft, Dan.   
   o The WiFi protocols work just fine for extending range at home, Dan.   
      
   If someone on this thread simply wants to increase their range at home   
   o Then the Plain Jane 802.11 WiFi protocols are just fine, Dan.   
      
   In fact, the Plain Jane 802.11 protocols with EVERYTHING they have, Dan.   
   o For you to imply that's "daft", is, well, it's daft Dan.   
      
   I have nothing against your suggestion of non-Wi-Fi protocols   
   o But EVERYTHING I'm suggesting to extend home range is via WiFi protocols   
      
   It's not daft, Dan, to use WiFi protocols to extend range at home.   
   o In fact, it's a great idea for home use that works wonderfully well   
      
   I'm advocating they plug the device into the any RJ45 they have handy   
   o Voila! Instant WiFi extended range!   
      
   Elegant. Simple. Powerful. Functional. Beautiful. KISS. 'Repurposable.   
      
   --   
   The elegant beauty is that it simply works with everything that's WiFi!
