I pick up all the free WiFi signals available in my area.

Configuring the device in CPE mode (client bridge) isn't really any harder than any other wireless device, and the throughput is really good.

Great product at an amazing price

and I get a solid high speed connection to the remote site

I am lucky, no trees in the way and decent line of sight.

These are highly configurable and support a plethora of options

Very good value and holds its own against the big boys

Many options are well beyond home consumers, but there are fairly easy-to-use default configurations for those with at least some understanding of IP networking.

doesnt get better then Mikrotik Routerboards with RouterOS - if you know what you are doing.
