4.0 out of 5 stars SMC 2682W, August 2, 2001

By	Carter J. Rierson (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews

The bridge set up in just a few minutes and their technical support has been wonderful. Beware their maximum range claims. Using the additional high-gain antennae, I can link the two bridges at just under half a mile. The link is intermittent though, and I do not see it working any further than half a mile unless you have an absolutely clear line of sight. Once I established a link between the two the speed has been good, but it does not work during hot humid days.
