What Is The Hands Down Best Long Range Router??

im tryin to get good wireless reception in my office out back of my
house... i just bought a linksys home router and pci adapter but im only
averaging about 20 mbps and that just isnt fast enough.... what is the

You can have speed, or long range, but not both. They're inversely
proportional, all other things being equal.
<http://wireless.wikia.com/wiki/Wi-Fi#Performance_and_Speed>
If you're getting 20Mbits/sec thruput, then you must have a 48Mbit/sec
connection. You're not going to go much faster with 802.11g or
whatever you have for hardware. You can possibly go faster with Pre-N
hardware, but that might be at the expense of range.

Incidentally, the Shift keys seem to be broken on your keyboard. You
might want to get them repaired.

I'm running almost ten miles with 802.11g with 100 Mbps equipment and
get about 70% throughput which is plenty for my 30 Mbps internet
connection (50 Mbps by winter)...but I have 70 ft. towers at both ends
and a 1.2 Fresnel clearance and better than 20 dB fade margin.

What 2.4GHz 802.11g product are you using that yields 70Mbits/sec
thruput at 16Km? I'm familiar with 100Mbit/sec and faster links, but
they either use either 5.2/5.8GHz or proprietary modulation schemes,
not 802.11g.

Sorry, I meant 5.8 GHz, not 802.11g...I wasn't paying attention to
what I was saying.

They aren't cheap. $10,000 per pair.
