G+_T Nohands Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ I know a wifi bridge can be set up with more bandwith using something like yagi antennas, but if you set up more antennas say 4 of of them could 2 wifi bridges be configured in link aggregation especially for dealing with multiple hd cameras, automated services and ip controlled devices, along with multiple machines/devices wanting high speed internet access for gaming, netflix, and a central media server? How would you set that up with a 1'000 foot distance that has line of sight, while making the bridge secure and encrypted from wardriving or monitering/hacking?

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well, if you want the best signal possible, you really need two different types of antennas. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz will need different physical properties to get the best possible signal. So get a pair of 2.4 and 5 GHz antennas for the bridge, and a router for each end. Preferably mount the bridge antennas outside, and the router/local antennas inside. Setup a crazy WPA2 password for the bridge network, and you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 This already exists and is part of most modern consumer/prosumer devices... it's called "MIMO" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_T Nohands Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ How would I go about setting up MIMO what can be done on a budget? Leo told me if I wanted a 5 gbs or higher bandwith I would want to use microwave radios, which would be a better option for that 980' gap I need to cover with my network, what would you do on a budget?

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The cheapest, but still rock solid, way to do it would be to just get two of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1174595&gclid=Cj0KEQjwoau9BRDMvsnv5MCh24UBEiQAKOqcfeyUAY9EmNxfyxNvvuxsdE-OVDqPryYpTgEserFc4-QaAnWp8P8HAQ&is=REG&ap=y&m=Y&c3api=1876%2C92051677562%2C&Q=&A=details If your budget can swing them, a pair of the AC models would be even better: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1195609&gclid=Cj0KEQjwoau9BRDMvsnv5MCh24UBEiQAKOqcfaYmyxenbekpk0E1Q_b4aNRFujCUlaWRcFejYBsglNcaAsEB8P8HAQ&is=REG&ap=y&m=Y&c3api=1876%2C52934714882%2C&A=details&Q= For "only" 900', you might have to lower the power output on those to get the best performance out of those Ubiquiti bridges.

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 T Nohands You don't "setup" MIMO, the equipment you buy already uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
