it depends on the Antenna and how strong the signal is from the AP. not on the wifi adapter on the client. wifi adapter listens, it does not pull from the AP. as long as the Antenna is good and the AP is sending out strong signal. i don't see why the guy from 1KM away can't get his signal.
Added on September 26, 2007, 6:31 pmHi All,
how is the performance of the v24 RC-3? is it stable yet? anyone encounter any issue's so far?
What do you expect, if a normal AP (TPO varies), connected to external 8.5 dbi OMNI directional antenna (NOT patch/directional) will performed? The fact is the signal strength decreased once the cable (depends on the length and type of cable) and connector were introduced.
It is almost impossible to reach 1km (without power booster and directional antenna) unless it is supported by the strength of wireless adapter - and also the correct position.
Note that, the adapter is not only listens (it is not a passive mode software/device like the netstumbler/kismet or wireless IPS-Airtight) but it is also performed transmit - duplex. Sorry for the term 'pulled' that I've said.
I would admit the performance if I see it in front of my own eyes

(Maybe Azmihamzah is the lucky guy)
One more thing, the signal strength after flashed to ddwrt is lower than before flashed. Have you all noticed about this?
Last week I flashed my wrt54gs with RC3, but the signal tested with netstumbler is not same as before, which is much lower after flashed. So sorry to say it without picture.
I've tried increase the transmit on ddwrt, but nothing much changed in term of signal strength.
ps : Sorry azmihamzah, me ckp saja buat tak. Maybe I will shoot that type of kerbau for a testing.
