Talking of wireless networking, I've seen range of 100m quoted, is this 
standard for all makes of equipment?
And is this a absolute maximum, or is in practice is the range much greater 
and the 100m just a 'guaranteed' to cover themselves?
What about the building materials that the signal has to pass thru?


I'm getting 1Mb broadband in 10 days, and I have a friend who lives 120m from 
me who I could sell bandwidth to - but I don't want to buy the hardware if it 
is unlikely to work that far.

Cheers
