        I don't think you'll be able to find a wireless product that will cover
more than about 100m reliably. If you aren't completely set on wireless you
could go 10Base5, it has a max range of 500m I believe, more than enough for
a small neighbourhood. As an aside, check the TOS with your broadband ISP,
most disallow this sort of thing. TTYL
