Yes, I know people in the countryside that use some kind of long range WiFi to connect.
I had a friend who once set up a 15-mile line-of-sight WiFi connection using Pringle cans for antennas. This was around 2008. I didn't personally see it operate, so I am taking his word for it. I don't remember if he had to adjust any of the timing parameters.
Sure, I have a Pringle antenna I built myself, but I talk of commercial systems, not DIY :-D These are more serious setups. Example: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
