Re: WiFi + External Antennae

[Nick Shore <nick.shore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dean

There are 2 ways to go really.

1) use an external device for the backhaul, connected to an AP internally.

I'm guessing the campsite is running normal 2.4GHz wifi so take a look at:

Then run a cat5 inside to any AP which you have to hand.




OR


2) build a dual radio system using a MikroTik Routerboard.

Something like the RB433

You then need to add a couple of radio cards:

plus you need pigtails, case and antennae

Case:

Internal antenna (needs 2)

Pigtail

converter

N-type cable

Antenna:

So as you can see it is possible to make a one box solution, but it
takes a lot more components and is more expensive.

Hope that helps
Nick.
