Not looked at any of the past posts to this group, have you? I'd hate to
be snide, but if you go to
http://groups.google.com and search for
alt.internet.wireless you can see tons of information about your subject
matter. The short answer is wireless is solid if done correctly. How
many walls and will it work on the patio depends on a lot of things.
Security is totally non-existant on wireless equipment as it comes out
of the box, it's up to you learn a little about security and implement
security measures.
