Bronze Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 67 Registered: Oct-05 | That will work, we were thinking about doing it and getting our campus wireless at our apartment but we read that it violates FCC regulations. I don't know if anyone will notice it but just something to be aware of. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3620 Registered: Jun-04 | Thanks Brian.....Well i know using a connection that taps into a wan link that is provided for another is against rules i think but how is a wireless lan only breaking rules? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3622 Registered: Jun-04 | so far all i see is im legal doing it my way Wireless Lan (WLAN) Stuff Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have certainly advanced over the last seven to 10 years, haven't they? WLANs can be defined as short-range packet data communications between base stations and user terminals that permit data rates up to 54 Mbps for coverage in indoor hot spots. Direct communication between terminals is also possible. WLAN allows people working within the same building to access their company's Intranet wirelessly. OK, that describes what a WLAN does -- but there are all sorts of different standards in use now or coming online soon that govern HOW a WLAN works. Currently, IEEE 802.11b is the dominating standard, but others either available now or coming soon are: * IEEE 802.11a; 5 GHz, only allowed in the US * IEEE 802.11g; 2.4 GHz * HIPERLAN/2; 5 GHZ * IEEE 802.11h; 5 GHz, will incorporate HiperLAN functionality |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3624 Registered: Jun-04 | does this show id be legal doing my idea? AMPLIFIERS USAGE IN THE 2.4 AND 5 GHZ WLAN BANDS Prior to October 2004, amplifiers used in 802.11 WLAN bands had to be certified, marketed, sold, and installed as a complete package, including the amplifier, the transmitter, the specific cable, and the specific antenna. All the products had to be sourced from a single vendor, in the configuration in which they were certified. Any changes required a new certification. The October 2004 changes to the regulations eliminated the requirement for a single complete set, and permit the purchase of devices from separate sources. However, the amplifier must be certified with the specific transmitter and antenna it will be installed with, and it must follow the same Effective Isotopic Radiated Power (EIRP) limits as the transmitter itself. Amplifiers must either comply with the unique connector requirement, prohibiting the use of standard connectors such as standard N, TNC, or SMA connectors, or must use some type of electronic signature between the transmitter and amplifier, ensuring the amplifier is used only with certified transmitters. OTHER NOTES The FCC staff clarified that under the Communications Act, the FCC has exclusive authority to resolve matters involving RF interference (RFI) when unlicensed devices are being used, regardless of venue. The FCC also affirmed that the rights that consumers have under the FCC rules to install and operate customer antennas one meter or less in size apply to the operation of unlicensed equipment, such as Cisco and Linksys Wi-Fi access points. This means that local municipalities, cities, or neighborhood groups cannot impose restrictions on installations of 802.11 WLAN products on property controlled by a user, except where public safety is a concern. |

Bronze Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 76 Registered: Oct-05 | I believe it's because the signal is so strong it can interfere with things that it shouldn't. It's not that the device itself is illegal bye any means it's the ammount of interferance it can cause, this is what the OTHER NOTES is from. I say go for it and if someone complains take it down. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3625 Registered: Jun-04 | either way i still am not sure how I violate fcc regulations??? and id like to know once and for all because if im not i could take this idea further |
|
Bronze Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 78 Registered: Oct-05 | It's the RFI and the ammount of radiation it *may* put out that they were talking about in the site i read. I don't think you're in any danger of voilating these I just know we never went through with it. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3629 Registered: Jun-04 | im gonna do it if its legal |

Bronze Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 79 Registered: Oct-05 | This: "However, the amplifier must be certified with the specific transmitter and antenna it will be installed with, and it must follow the same Effective Isotopic Radiated Power (EIRP) limits as the transmitter itself" and this: "The FCC staff clarified that under the Communications Act, the FCC has exclusive authority to resolve matters involving RF interference (RFI) when unlicensed devices are being used, regardless of venue" is how it *may* violate the FCC guildlines. |

Bronze Member Username: Nutty91rsBloomington, Indiana USA Post Number: 81 Registered: Oct-05 | Those links show the setup and such, I highly doubt you'll get in trouble for this especially if you're using a very well aimed can or if you do the dish mod listed in the bottom link. How far away is your friends house? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3631 Registered: Jun-04 | yup that last one is what we were gonna do except with a direct tv dish instead but dont forget this one http://www.trevormarshall.com/biquad.htm |
