Don?t use passphrase, go directly to keys. From what I?ve seen of the rainbow tables, there are more than just dictionary passwords. You can use GRC's random key generator. If there is a possibility your data is getting intercepted, copy several keys to notepad and mix and match your 63/64...

Neither Hawking or Wireless Garden post actual antenna patterns for their products. Hawking claims 90 degrees of coverage but doesn?t show the horizontal or vertical plots for peak gain beamwidth. Compared to each other though, the Hawking being a panel antenna and the Cantenna a waveguide...

The Cantenna would be worse.

I?ll recommend the Edimax and the Hawking Corner antenna. I have both and have gotten a connection from well over 1000? and that was with a low power consumer grade AP. I?ll assume the Business Park is using a commercial grade outdoor AP with at least 100mW and a 7 to 9dB omni. If that?s the...

I have to agree to the Fake AP. The School?s MAC address reference to the vendor Enterasys. It seems likely someone may be cloning the Enterasys MAC and then doing an attack. The timing of the change to a different SSID could tell you if it?s automated or manual. If it is manual, it may not...

Are you sure SSID Octopus is from the school? It doesn't match their naming convention.

Simple one. Set up your MAC filter to accept only your devices. Or Configure encryption to keep other devices from connecting. If you still have problems and get no response from contacting the school. Make it their problem. Set up a spare router in your window facing the school...

The WRT54?s use RP-TNC. You linked the correct connectors but you might want to go 24?. 10? doesn?t get very far.

Go with the GL. The GS only works with micro DD-WRT, if it works at all. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

"If our service is not currently available in your area, and you need service now, we may be able to custom-engineer a link to your area. Pricing for such custom deployments is on a case-by-case basis." On the link I gave you.

Aww, "missed it by that much" http://www.eldoradowireless.co...e_area.php#serviceArea Give them a call, Maybe they know of some other providers in the area.

You need to log into the modems configuration page to change it to WPA. Netgear suggests using the CG814M if you don?t have ISP support for your model. We can assume that it has a similar configuration. You can find the Reference Manual on this page...

The Netgear download page for the CG814WG Modem directs you to the ISP for support and firmware. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/cg814wg.asp The Time Warner support is a bit thin on specific models. You may have better luck contacting support for your area and let them know your/their...

You should be able to get WPA capable with just a firmware upgrade. Even my 4 year old Netgear WGT624 does WPA now.

Make a simple reflector to block the signal from whatever direction you see his connection drop off. You can monitor the connection from your routers Local Network>Device List http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/Ez-10/default.htm
