| 770664 | 2009-05-03 09:33:00 | Hi All, Im wanting to get a bridge to bridge wireless network setup from my place to a mates place 3km away. I can see his house (im on a hill) and theres little to no objects in the way. What hardware will i need to get this achieved? I need to know stuff like the antenna gain, access point watt output,if i need an amplifier for it etc, doesnt worry me if im on 2.4 or 5ghz. I plan to mount the antenna's on a fixed pole, cheap is good, the PoE models of antenna i've looked at seem a bit pricey so running coax for a few meters is ok instead of cat5, I've been trying to find some sort of calculator where i can punch in the distance and it'll let me know what the specs of the hardware i need. Thanks in advance for any help, |

SnapperNet don't sell to the general public and would have just quoted you RRP on everything. If you talk to someone that is a dealer with SnapperNet I'm sure you could get the gear cheaper :D |

| 770668 | 2009-05-05 03:50:00 | Rob99's suggestion is probably the most cost-efficient if you're comfortable doing it. I haven't used much in the way of consumer-grade gear for those sort of distances but Ethernet Direct (www.ethernetdirect.com) have some factastic industrial-grade gear for 1 - 20km ranges. Expect to pay through the nose though (probably $2k or so for a bridge & antenna) | inphinity (7274) | ||
