If so, how significantly does it degrade with multiple users on the same line, which would be the case if more than one user had an adapter on a line? How secure is the system should there be more than one adapter on a line? It sounds like such connections would be linked before the router or access point applied it's security protocols such as WPA2-AES. Do the adapters create a back door security issue?

"I'm trying to figure out how you're getting "36Mb/s to Pole 40" from a "20Mb/s DSL link". Which speed test are you using?"
Hi Dutch. The 36Mb/s is the max speed at a distance of 200'for that link between Pole 40 and Pole 33(my RV). Using Ookla speed test I am getting 8.58 Mb/s download and 1.86 upload with a ping test of 31ms.
The shorter the distance the greater the speed of the Nano links.
