Aironet 1310 with integrated antenna outdoor placement

Question

Hi Guys.
One of our offices may be moving in the future to a building facing ours. Im thinking of buying 2 1310 outdoor AP/bridge devices intergrated antennas along with the roof mount kits. The buildings are in perfect line of site and our approx 33 meters apart.
The issue is that both buildings are metal clad. Will this have any bearing to the radio connection between the devices ?

Answer 1

Hi Jason,
You are most welcome my friend! Set the Non-Root with this config ***Non-Root Bridge with Wireless clients***;
Q. What devices can associate with a bridge?
A. Root Bridge:
Accepts associations and communications with non-root bridge devices and clients.
Does not communicate with other root bridge devices.
Communicates with multiple non-root bridge devices.
Non-Root Bridge:
Can associate and communicate with root devices or clients.
Does not communicate with other non-root devices, unless the other non-root devices communicates with the root bridge.
Note: Both the root bridge and the non-root bridge will service clients only if the role in the radio network Root Bridge with Wireless Clients or ***Non-Root Bridge with Wireless clients*** is supported by the bridge and is enabled.
