walao cun... good luck in your sales bro!

keep in mind bro, 1km link only can be done if the 2 points are in LOS (line of sight). Take note also about vertical polirization of that antenna which i think is around only 15 degree.

I personally done 1.4km point to point link (means using 2 AP + 2 -8dBi antenna), ~400m AP to Client (AP to laptop) link, and recent project involved in ~600m point to point no LOS in klang.

Mind to elaborate the setup u used? Means not only hardware, but softwares, wallmouting used, power setup, and method of your testing?

omni directional antenna is 360" on horizontal axis, and 15" on vertical one. ~45deg left + right is for directional/panel one.

yeah, something might goes wrong during post-installation testing. I personally experienced some of that. That would includes malfunction antenna, spoiled router board, spoiled connector, lost in cable, short-circuit, etc. I might add the area also have to get good chi to get better signal transmission.

Sciencetifically speaking, some interference might occur if you placed the antenna near to radiation transmitting source such as microwave oven, tv, cordless phone terminal, or mobile phone repeaters.

2 years learning DIY in this field don't make me an experienced networker. It's just my hobby.

how long your poe setting? means how many meter the cat5 cable from your router and power supply. I can mod one for you.

Not recommended to use N-router for long range point to point wireless setup. The link bandwithd won't be significant and N-router need to use 2 antenna. Normal G-router (dd-wrt) with panel antenna should do the job. But, NO LOS would be difficult to setup. Might need to do on-site survey first.

If the building or trees that blocked the line of sight are real solid, (i mean building with lots of solid wall/metal) possibility to get good signal is low). Btw, real on site testing would be ur best option.

no. GSM lines are different with WLAN 2.4Ghz band. you will need a GSM repeater for that purpose, which also meaningless because all traffic in GSM band are encrypted.

i guess the problem lay in the new antenna architecture done by linksys (Cisco) engineers, which they want to design something sleek while compromising router performance (in this case wifi signal performance due to "new version" of build-on-the-case antenna design).

so in your case, it not firmware problem - it just the design of that wireless router modem which give you poor wireless signal performance.


Solutions?

Normal solution - live with it, the router wifi performance is below my expectation (tried 2 unit of its sister's product - WRT54G2, which in my opinion has a same antenna architecture as WAG54G2). Or you can try using / add another product such as linksys WRT54GL / buffalo WHR-HP-G54 and set it as AP / repeater. Why i recommend this 2 routers? Because i had 12 units of GLs and 5 unit of HP-54G, and 3 unit of currently-not-on-production WHR-G54S in my hotspot projects as well in my client's hotspot projects. All running fine until today.

You cannot opt to add external antenna without hardware modification, because this particular router don't have external sma / TNC antenna connector at their back.


Extreme solution - make hardware modification. Add external antenna connector and put up -8dbi external omni and see if there is any improvement in wireless signal performance. I did it once with WRT150N, it should be same method to mod this router - i think.

means profit is 100% goes back to the operator.

Operator only need to pay for hardware (server), software (controller) and installation cost.

yes, the senao/engenius eoc-2610 is approved by sirim. Don't worry.

Just don't over-spending on EIRP limit set by MCMC.

try switch to 5Ghz wifi equipment. Now the trend is very common to use 5Ghz for end-point wireless connection.

you need to use enterprise class router for best outdoor performance. Either engenius / ubiquiti does the job well.

all Ubiquiti and Ubiquiti AirMax Product line will be available soon!
