[Mikrotik] Low Cost Wireless Repeater
Hi Guys: I am looking for a low cost wireless repeater solution. I need to extend the range of a mikrotik AP. I already have the max gain card and antenna I can use but I still have having some problems with low power laptop cards. I looked at the Buffalo, Linksys, and D-Link offerings but I have no experience with how well they work. I am willing to build something if necessary but I would like to stay under $200 if possible. The other issue is that I am doing MAC based authentication at the Mikrotik so I don't know if using a repeater will still allow that to work. If anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them.

You could use an RB433 with your choice of radio cards. Not sure if these are available, yet, but if so, that would be my recommendation. -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering*MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Wired or Wireless Networks*
