What kind of performance can I expect from Lake Ohana Wifi?
It’s difficult to say without doing a formal site survey. Please keep in mind that 802.11b/g is a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) technology. It works best when used in environments where each site has a clear view of the other, with no obstructions. If you don’t have a clear LOS, your results will be dependent on what is between you and the signal receptor. Rule of thumb is, glass will reduce the signal by about a third (beware of ‘metalized’ glass, or glass with metal wire mesh). Sheetrock, drywall or wooden walls will drop the signal about 60% to 70% dB per wall. Brick, metal or stone walls will result in higher losses. In some areas of the U.S., many houses are constructed of stucco walls that contain metal wire mesh. This presents a real problem for high-frequency radio waves and should be taken into consideration when placing your bridge. Trees and foliage will also interfere with these frequencies. Keep in mind placement is everything. If you place it in the middle of the house, you may fin
