Nice article by Mr Boutin. But with a North American slant, so do the same rules apply to the UK? And what if you live in a house and not an apartment building? How far would the network go? Any feedback from anyone?
I am not sure of the rules in the UK- I’m sure it would constitute some sort of law breaking tho because in essence you are requiring a TCP/IP connection without someone’s consent, therefore id say its a no no.
. Also depends on the strength of the card/transmitter but i can normally get about 10-15 meters on mine.
Also as far as networking range- it depends very much upon what you are transmitting through. It aint exactly going to work if your transmitting through lead enforced concrete walls lol
Hope this was of some help!
