Need suggestions AP bridge device [indoor antenna] [bridge device]
Q: I have a 4-storey building with an auditorium I need to blanket wireless signal. I would like the APs must be bridged, so it looks like there is only one network that users can see. Was checking the Senao EL-3054 CB3 + Deluxe for APs. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Id also like to hear any recommendations indoor antenna if you any.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Re:You might want to take a step back and actually do the design before looking at and picking equipment. Depending on the budget there are very innovative solutions out there beyond "just an access point"
Things like what kind of performance you need, what kind of security you need, how many clients do you want your maximum to be, etc.
Re:Do you have a specific AP recommendation?
Re:yes, bridge is to connect an access point to another wirelessly.
the term is wireless domain services (WDS). This is where proxim/cisco excels.
Re:I would be able to wire nearly all of them, so that should be ok. Am I wrong in using the term bridging for having the APs appear as one network?
Re:If you can't wire the APs (as you should) then get dual-mode (A and G) access points.
provide the wireless network on G and then use A to link the APs together.
proxim and cisco are the usual suspects for quality radios and very flexible options. choice of antenna depends on the location of the AP. general "bunny ears" like you see on SOHO gear work pretty well.
