RE: WiFi + External Antennae

["Dean Smith" <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nick :)



The nanostation looks perfect I have to say. Almost a shame its so
reasonably priced.removes the temptation/need to go OpenWRT/DD-WRT on a
sutiable Ebay AP ;-)

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

03

You then need to add a couple of radio cards:

plus you need pigtails, case and antennae

Case:

Internal antenna (needs 2)

and-mmcx-connector/12850

Pigtail

converter

N-type cable
http://linitx.com/product/n-plug-male-to-n-plug-male-1-metre-cable/11842

Antenna:
http://linitx.com/product/rf-technics-7dbi-120-degree-sector-antenna-for-24g
hz/13900

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.
