got any
recommendations for hardware? Max Range will be about 2 Kilometres.

TIA

Whats the land like? Trees? Hills? Mountains? Etc... If theres lots of
trees forget it.. I tried myself to set up a neighborhood isp, but trees
killed my signal. With the same equipment I have you could network a couble
km in open area with directional antennas, but in trees its approx 100m..
: /

Let us know.
Good Luck
- Mike

Hi Mike,

There are trees, but not too high, I can get a on a good mast near the
centre which would spy over the top of most of them. most of the town is on
a bit of a hill, but again the mast has LOS over that.
