This is for a business located 4 miles out of town with no wired high speed Internet options. They already have a m0n0wall that will still be in use as a router at the office. I picture something like this: ADSL Modem (in town) <--> m0n0wall <--> Wireless Bridge <--> m0n0wall <--> Office Network By Wireless Bridge I mean whichever wireless equipment we choose to make the link with. I was initially picturing this setup without a m0n0wall in the town location, basically hooking up the Modem to the wireless bridge. However, I think I will need to place some sort of router there to setup the PPPoe for the Modem. Having a router there will also allow me to have the wireless bridge equipment on private addressing instead of eating up public addressing for them. > > I don't know that m0n0 is the right solution for that, you'd probably > be better served by a Linksys AP that can take a signal booster > instead > of a m-pci card. > > You're probably going to need masts or towers and directional > antenna's. > Do you have a decent LOS between the 2 locations? We have towers in place already, and there is clear LOS between them. Since my email yesterday, I have been looking a little bit at Ubiquiti Networks PowerStation. http://ubnt.com/products_ps2.php4 Has anybody had any experience with these? Bob |
