Hey,

Anyone give me an idea about what kind of distance I could expect to get if I were to use a pair of:

In 2.4 Ghz?.. what about 5 Ghz?

How about with a pair of http://routerboard.com/RBMetalG-52SHPacn

In 2.4 Ghz?.. what about 5 Ghz?


Just looking for a basic estimate for LOS outdoor with the Included Omni Antennas.

Easy:

Fill in what you know, and press Calculate.

Does that work for Omnidirectional?

Of course, you specify the antenna gain. The type doesn’t matter, as long as it’s correctly pointed towards the other device.

how can i use testlink for hotspot? (for comparing products as a hotspot)

what can i put on power, rx sensitivity and antena gain considering a mobile device on the other side?

Mobile devices themselves have poor range. You can set any type of AP you want, mobile device still will have same limits.
