[olug] Wireless LAN

[Chad S. Lauritsen]

Hi,

A while back there were some threads regarding 802.11 wireless networking. I
have never played with it, but I had a question maybe some of you could answer.

Would it be possible for an apartment landlord to use it to provide high-speed
internet to tenants? (To avoid retrofitting Cat-V in the walls.)
Specifically, can it travel through the walls reliably
enough to a central router connected via, say T1 access? Or does it really have
to have a _visually_ non-obstructed line-of-sight?

Thanks,
Chad
