QUOTE(shahjees @ Mar 3 2008, 11:06 PM) wooo bro, <500meter on cat5e? how did you managed to run to that distance? sorry if my post make u misunderstood, i tested wifi connections between KLCC 40th floor to UOA building in KL distance of more than 2km using a simple cisco aironet 3500 on 15dbi omni. so your distance of 500meters on wifi should be ok, but need more details on where you plan to install the antenna and some photos of your site would be helpful.  i just google arround and now already a bit understand regarding access point  like this, i want to use existing streamyx line on my office and make it become wireless, so i could access internet from new office by using that wireless via laptop.... i want to install the antenna on my existing office of course  so, what router+modem and also antenna that could do this? and also where i can get those items thanks in advance. p/s sorry for my bad english |

QUOTE(azmihamzah @ Mar 4 2008, 07:09 PM) wow, your backbone line looks very delicious... thanks..... solution that i would recommend. 2 APs (AP1 at old branch and AP2 at new branch) doing wireless point to point connection. Both AP using directional -8dBi antenna facing each other. AP1 connected to existing network via cable. New branch's network will get connection from AP2 via cable also. Point to point connection can easily make stable 45mbps link at 500m. The implementation should be easy if the branches are at line of sight from each other. so the conclusion i need 2 antennas and 2 AP? which AP and antenna model and brand u could suggest? im not familiar in choosing these item. again thanks  |
