You totally need to ask for your money back. I can't believe the garbage manufacturers will put out on the market these days...

Easy to configure and sub $100 each. Set one unit as an AP, other as a Station and enable WDS (Transparent Bridge Mode), add the other necessary settings and encryption key and you are good to go. You’ll probably need to crank the output power down if you’re only running 100 yards but they’ll provide exceptional throughput for the price. We have 30 or so links running on these for short hauls between buildings, have been using them for a couple of years now, lost one early this year to a lightning strike, but very trouble free otherwise. There are counterfeit units on the market, so buy from one of their partner vendors which are listed on their website.

Please start a new unique thread, and not reply-to (aka hijack) an existing one. 2. Please don't include political messages in your signature. This is a large list, and will only attract conflict to or avoidance of your posts. 3. In simplest terms: If you can establish clear line of site between the points, you simply need two directional antennas and repeating/bridging devices with enough power to broadcast over that distance. If its truly 100yds with CLoS, you may be able to use a high-end CoTS device (repeater between $200-300 not including antennas). I've purchased similar products at Fry's for residential installs. Otherwise, my short-range distance experience is with Cisco Aironet bridges for commercial.. -- Espi On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 12:35 PM, John Bonner <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Good Afternoon Full Disclosure: I am a software engineer so I understand generally this field but I am not as well versed in the particulars as you guys are. A friend who owns a very large dairy has broadband coming into one building and would like to beam wireless to their house across the street ~100 yards away. I was looking for advice as well as what equipment / where to buy. It *seems* to me this is not needing a complex solution. They will not be uploading much just downloading. So any advice would be greatly appreciated JB Homeschooled kids don’t lack socialization . . . but socialism. Homeschooling represents a microcosm of traditional Americana and a rebuke of government meddling. Hence liberals hate it.
