This is an Airport Extreme that I got to test out. Also, Valley Zero has a huge omni that is 30+ m up in a tree, so less than ideal radiation pattern for near neighborhood coverage (and better for long distance shots and point directional antennae at). So Valley Air is in the front end of the house with no external antenna. I bet that at least 5 neighbors can see it; and two neighbors are very interested in hooking up, adding more radios and maybe antennae as well!

It is also a chance for me to test out WDS performance and limitations. Now I have three radios with WDS. I've perceived some flakiness with WDS between the two linksys radios, so I want to monitor how the WDS is working.

Also, to get the Airport Extreme working with the two Linksys radios (WRT54G and WRT54GS) using WGS, I just had to do a quick google and found these pages (they all seemed to indicate that it had to be on channel 1. However, I've got a neighbor using 1 (one of the rare non-6 people) so I want to stick to 11. and that worked just fine. Anyway, I just used the directions at: http://www.maclive.net/page/Tips/Airport/wds.html or http://ryanschwartz.net/2004/08/05/airtunes-airport-express-and-the-wrt54g or http://vafer.org/blog/tcurdt/archives/000184.html (they all basically said the same thing, and it was easy).
