The sky tower is about the worst place in Auckland to do wireless from. The amount of noise coming off the sky tower is very high. You will only be able to cover a small area with each Cisco bridge due to interference around the CBD. The Cisco gear works in the 2.4Ghz Unlicensed band. The max power output is 4 watts at the antenna. The best thing on your home end would be a Linux box with a PCI cradle and Cisoc PCI card.

Just out of interest, how many people on this list; a) live in Auckland. b) have line of sight to the sky tower. c) would be willing to help chip in for a Cisco Aironet 340 wireless RIG, or similar to their home. It's just this crazy idea I had, and I figure the more people the cheaper it is. Cheers.
