i can't afford to test my pringles can as of now but the soup ones are doing fine @ ~ 800ft through trees, open air, and maybe a house or two. 5-30% packet loss depending on how many people have their wireless phones or microwaves or whatnot on in between.

using 802.11b d-link access points.

NICE!

the best ive seen my friend with his pringles can is 2% loss

in a small town called Squamish in BC, north of Vancouver
he was pretty close to the source

distance?

maybe we should convert

but there is all kinds a shit inbetween

nah

its my friend's project... not mine

i do find those guides fun to read
and perhaps one day ill make me a Rogers coffee can too since it seems to perform better than Pringles
