Im sure I'm losing face by asking this here but I admit there are some gaping holes in my knowledge base, and the topic of radio and antennas is a black hole for me. Please excuse my ignorance.
I've searched and found lots of products but none that say "range: x-miles". Everything is rated in dB or dbi and I don't know what to make of it. Also the products I am finding fail to specify exactly what they are, and what additional hardware is required to make them work.
All I want is a router that I can access from a quarter mile down the road. I don't know if there is such a beast.
If I have to have a transmitter and receiver with antennas that is fine. I can place antennas so that they have line of sight with each other.
