We have several bridge links in use, and have a history going back to Aironet

pricy compared to what you want to spend. The 1300 is also pricey, and we've

We have used the Proxim Tsunami Quickbridge product for some time now and are
very happy with it. However, it's going to cost you at least twice what you
have budgeted.

We've been using a couple of Bridgewave products for several years now.
They seem bullet-proof and require minimal maintenance (we buy support
that includes annual checkups). We've got a couple of 1000Mbps versions
and a 100Mbps version. Don't have the exact model numbers at hand, but

Due to the availability of more channels in the 5GHz range I'd recommend
going with 11a radios. Less chance for interference.

Considering your budget, you could:
Acquire two linksys WRT54GL and load open-wrt, then use the WDS
protocol,
(2.4 GHz only!!!)
or get two Proxim AP-4000 (Ebay has good deals on those), use WDS and
enable the turbo mode.
The Proxim has two radios. So we usually use one radio (the 5
I have been testing some of the new Ubiquiti Products for a "point to point"
application. Specifically the new Bullet5 product. So far I have been impressed
with their abilities but have just used them in a test setup so far. They have
a very good price point. They are new enough that they are s
We've been using some trango devices (can't remember the model) for a point to
multipoint bridge for a couple years now. Honestly I can't remember ever having
to touch them after putting them in place.

We have heard many positive feedback about IDEngines and Autoconnect. We are
just trying to evaluate this product and I cannot find this company anymore. Is
this product completely replaced by XpressConnect? For the folks using this
product, do you still get good support? will you stay with this
The IdEngines company closed and was in part acquired by ... but the
Autoconnect product is also marketed as Cloudpath.net XPressConnect
And yes, we are also a satisfied customer.

We started looking at the IDEngines Autoconnect product, but learned
that they actually OEM'd that product from Cloudpath (i.e. their
XpressConnect product).As such, we turned our attention and
evaluation efforts in that direction, were very pleased with what we
found, and just purchased a
One personal observation... but first I need to agree with Randy. This utility
and it's ease of use has been very helpful in configuring our 802.1x
supplicants, and the ID Engines folks were great to work with.
That being said- the latest Mac versions and now Windows 7 (and Ubuntu) seem to

I agree with Daniel. His suggestion is solid, and probably the most
recommended solution (price and functionality - wise) - especially for a
production environment. I'm not sure lower cost equipment that can do WDS
bridging will have the range you desire (1000 feet). Apple's Airpor
As a follow up. I did do a test run with the Ubiquiti Bullets and set up a WDS
link in their software and successfully carried 802.11q Trunk VLANs across the
link between two Cisco switches.
