Below old

Node One:

Currently this is my plan.

purchase a state surplus laptop with 2 pcmcia slots. (or maybe a VIA C3 PCM-6892)
Purchase 1 Senao SL-2511CD PLUS card
Install linux w/ hostap to configure linux laptop as a accesspoint
Install a additional ethernet connection to enclosure in basement (to switch)
Purchase pigtail to connect up to existing omni. (if needed up 500mw amp but I don't think it will be necessary)
Purchase 1 Senao SL-2511 (w/ no external connector) for my little sony laptop to connect to accesspoint.
At this point my SSID should be seen very easily. If not, throw on the amp. Test with laptop for connectivity and range.
Install an additional small sector for future use. (1 more ethernet connection need to be run to attic in addition to current two POE connections.
Possibly need to replace existing cable to grid or omni as it is a stringed together cable w/ high loss.

Current in place:

1 2.4Ghz grid antenna
1 18-19db omni
1 500mw amp
1 WET11
2 POE connections from main enclosure/switches in basement

Current Equipment:

1 SMC2682W wireless bridge
1 Link Sys wireless router
1 WET11 Bridge
several older 30mw Cable Tron cards
2 power injectors (POE) (installed)
5 2.4Ghz Grid Antennas (1 currently in use)
3-4 Large Omni's Antenna
1 Sector Antenna
Several Chewed up Yagi's
5 Old proprietary AccessPoints/Bridges? (500mw)
