The main article "IEEE 802.11b-1999" mentions ranges of several kilometers, with high gain antennas. This seems very strange, as the regular MAC protocol probably does not support it. A reference to someone who actually managed to do this is essential here. Anyone who did this probably used a very elusive mode, and also high transmit power and high gain antenna. The high transmit power would be in violation of FCC rules. Any local 802.11b devices may suffer from extreme interferece. Some devices might even be damaged. This high power transmission may even interfere outside of the WIFI band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.60.10 (talk) 10:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC) I do not under stand eny of this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.191.216.3 (talk) 16:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
