How accurate is this? How high powered? They are able to, among other things, hack together Wi-Fi routers that can operate over longer distances and use more p

  Fairly accurate, from what I've read about previously: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/just-starting-read-this.html http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/just-starting-read-this.html "Mesh nodes can easily have a range of 10 miles or more using stock power and gain antennas if you have true line of sight" "Mesh nodes on channels 1-6 use FCC part 97 rules instead of part 15. This allows big antennas, more power, other changes"

  It's absolutely accurate. But no real hacks needed. Yagi antennas and boosted interfaces are now common. In lots of commercial WiFi appliances, power is software-defined. And norms have their own power index. Values can be tweaked using free software solutions/a bit of magic. In addition with networking technologys, power amplification,... It's totally legit, quite accurate, and underestimating the reality.

  > How high powered? Up to 1500 watts in the US. Various specific frequency ranges have lower limits either across the board or in specific geographical areas (e.g., there are some restrictions near the Canadian border, and near White Sands Missile Range), but I don't see any that apply to the amateur bands that overlap with wifi bands.
