[CWN-Summit] 802.11b long-distance ACK timeout

Our wireless efforts in rural Appalachia now have a case where a user 
is far enough away from our access point, that the ACK timeout 
problem is preventing connection.   We have some ideas on how to 
solve this, but we would also like to hear from the collected wisdom 
of this group as to how they have solved it.    We are using a D-Link 
access point; does anyone know how to change the ACK setting on this? 
What other access points have you used successfully which allow ACK 
to be changed?   How can the ACK be changed in a PC endpoint?

Thanks!


           Bob
