Well, if you want to build a backbone, you probably need directional antennas on those access points, so they wouldn't be accessible to the man on the street.. You could connect up some local APs with omnidirectional antennas, though. On the idea of a backbone, though, has anyone found out if it's possible to multiplex traffic over multiple APs, each using different channels, and then run them over either the same antenna or adjacent antennas? ie, have two APs at each end, each one on different channels, possibly getting 2x the bandwidth? -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Curiosity killed the cat, / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ but for a while I was a \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) suspect.
