ParkerVision has released a WiFi kit with a range of 1 mile (in an open field), and it's only $50. You get a PC card and USB adapter and a router in this for $50; I think this is a good price, but with it's range it's great.

I found this on Digg, and it for sale here.

I read some reviews on this and from what I can find, this router isnt worth its weight in salt.

An entire wireless system for 50 bucks isnt bad, but dont purchase it expecting for it to really work 1 mile away.

I prefer to stick with the names I trust

I think any wifi is capable of 1-mile, IF you use specialized highly directional antennas.

I was thinking of a Pringles can.

Over a clear line of sight, with short antenna cable runs, a 12db to 12db can-to-can shot should be able to carry an 11Mbps link well over ten miles.

How did you get this pix of my wireless setup???

BTW, the pix should be upside down as I'm using wireless and antenna is in Australia.

Great pix. Loved it and fitted in just right for this topic.
