Hey everybody,

I've been working for quite some time now on finding a way to greatly extend my AirPort's range. I think I've finally discovered a working solution. I'm using some equipment from HyperLink Technologies (www.hyperlinktech.com), along with some home-made stuff to create an ultra-long-range system.

The system I'm setting up won't be cheap (initial estimates calculate about $800), but it has been a hell of a good time. I sure hope it works, though, because I'm looking for something like Apple originally promised, the wireless network throughout the house - but in my single-story 8000-square-foot house, with some point being through 14 walls.

The point of the topic is: Coming later next week, I'm going to have a complete diary (including pictures) of the complete setup, along with instructions on making your own similar setup.

I'm waiting on a final shipment of parts from HyperLink, which will arrive Tuesday. I ordered today (saturday), but they won't be able to ship until Monday, so it won't arrive until Tuesday. As soon as I get everything hooked up and working, I'll write the diary.

So, if you're planning on extending your AirPort range, or if you're just looking for a good 'Diary' (something not seen since Andy Gore's old drool-a-licious diaries on the original TiBook), keep checking back, and look for it soon. I'm going to try to post it Thursday or Friday, but on the weekend for sure.

I am looking forward to this, swsteckly. I am also interested in increased airport range, although not to quite the same extent as yours.

The shipment from HyperLink arrived today, and the installation went well. The pictures have been taken, and I'll write the article progressively over the next few days. It will be complete by the weekend.

Most excellent. I will be tuning in.
