Well.............trying my best to be an active member but how about a contribution towards this "welding torch" router ? Or maybe protective clothing that I can wear when I am near this monster ?

I'm not volunteering, but I am curious as to the cost - and how it deals with the peripherals' signals not being boosted too.

Dave,

Cost: R1000 to R1200 depending where you source the router.

It is actually classified as an outdoor directional router and after another look, line of sight can give you up to 30 Kms if you had a similar "client/repeater" router on the other side. To make this work in a normal omni directional environment, I fitted an omni directional external antenna R 350 ( DLink ) to this and can now adjust the signal strength to suit the coverage.
I removed all the other "bridge" routers that I had all over the show and only use this as an AP now.
While I still had the bridge routers connected, I saw no change in the signal coming from them but only a much stronger one from the Engenius
I pick up the LAN on my cellphone up to about 200 meters away from my house and the antenna is still mounted inside my house in the study, so if I move this to inside the roof, I should get even further, but do not need this at all.
Also VERY easy to setup. No complicated settings so even I could do this !!

On the peripherals side, the manufacturer claims that it has a much more sensitive receiver module.

Once I have the whole setup done and Internet running ( something wrong with my adsl router ) I shall let you know the results. But sofar very happy !
