Wireless Bridge Solution

Hello,
I am looking for a wireless Bridge Solution the distance between 2 buildings is 200 Metre approx and the height of the buildings are 24 metres. The desired bandwidth is 11 Mbps and above.
Please help me in finalizing the solution. I am looking for a cheap solution other than 1300, 1400 or 1500 solution.
Regards..

You can always use a 1242 in bridge mode with external antennas. You will need a NEMA heated/cooled enclosure for the ap unless that will be mounted indoors, lightning arrestor and LMR cable to extend the antenna if required and antenna mounting hardware. But with most systems, you will need line of site, so hopefully you have this. Antenna wise, you can go with a yagi at both ends.

  • Share network traffic between 2 parallel wireless bridges - What kit?

    Dear All,
    I'm a technology professional, but mainly in electronic design rather than high end networking. Hence my request for your advice.
    I wish to specify some items of kit that I can ask a networking professional to fit and configure to solve my particular application.
    I would like to use (and already have in place) two parallel wireless bridges between 2 buildings. One is on 2.4GHz and the other is on 5GHz. In my simple testing so far (of each link in turn), they both work brilliantly. So far, these are in place just for test purposes, but soon I will be required to make the system "live".
    The reason I'm doing this is to split network traffic over both links (to possibly get enhanced bandwidth) but to mainly build in redundancy should one link fail.
    What kit is required to do this (apart from the 4 access points configured as bridges)?
    I imagine I may need a load balancing device(s) or possibly something more suitable for this task.
    I'd like the solution to be very transparent to the rest of the system, I'd like it to "look" like it's a simple wireless bridge (but really it's a highly robust dual bridge). I hope my waffle makes sense.
    Any thoughts?
    Best regards,
    L.O.

    You can certainly copy the addresses from one machine to the other - the contact files are held in user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. Copy all files into the same respective location on the other machine (they will overwrite any existing contacts).
    If you want the address books kept in sync, take a look at SyncTogether or SeeCard Rendezvous.

  • Can I use a WRT54GX2 as wireless bridge for my Blue Ray to an E1000 wireless router?

    I recently replaced my WRT54GX2 router with an E1000 for networking in my home.  I now have a Blu-Ray disk player, and thought I may be able to use the old WRT54GX2 to wirelessly bridge a network connection for the Blu-Ray.  I am having trouble fignuring out how to configure it, if possible at all.  Any help would be appreciated

    A WRT and a E1000 are wireless routers, i.e. router with an integrated wireless access points. They accept client connections. They don't connect to other access points. They always require a wired connection to your main network.
    Running a wire is the best solution anyway, in particular for video streaming and similar.

  • Wireless Bridge aironet 1410

    We have a site with couple of consumer level bridged AP's. We have been recommended a Cisco 1410 wireless bridge but it is very expensive. What are the added features of this bridge and is someone using it? We originally were thinking of replacing the AP's with cisco 1231 AP's and bridging them as it would be cheaper.
    Is there a benefit to using a 1410?

    The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge is the premier high-speed, high-performance outdoor bridging solution for line-of-sight applications, providing features such as:
    a) Support for both point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations
    b) Industry leading range and throughput, supporting data rates up to 54 Mbps
    c) Enhanced security mechanisms based on 802.11 and 802.11i standards
    d) Ruggedized enclosure optimized for harsh outdoor environments with extended operating temperature range
    e) Integrated or optional external antennas for flexibility in deployment
    f) Designed specifically for ease-of-installation and operation
    More information on the 1400 bridge is available in the data sheet at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps5279/products_data_sheet09186a008018495c.html

  • Wireless Security Solution

    I have heard a lot of talk about Wireless Security. And have at least a working knowledge of the two possible solutions, VPN and EAP. However, how to choose the best possible solution? VPN is expensive and still leaves me vulnerable to Impersonation attacks. EAP is cheaper but nonetheless leaves me vulnerable to Brute Force attacks. Of course the chances of someone walking into our building(s) and stealing a laptop with VPN software on it are probably greater than any of the aforementioned threats. I guess what I'm looking for is a "voice from above" to guide me on which solution I can take to my superiors and say "This is what we are going to do" and why solution X is better than solution Y.
    Thanks!
    STU...

    Stu,
    VPN vs WLAN: To what degree do you want to geographically control access? If WLAN is
    attractive because you’re looking at a LAN bridging solution, then VPN is over-kill. But if the distances are great (connecting from home) WLAN is out. In WLAN terms how big is your proposed "cell" (800m) or is the reach of users measured in miles? I can share with you an outline of WAP security controls for WLAN if what you’re leaning toward is a LAN-bridging solution. That should help you get your arms around security for a Cisco-centric WLAN solution. I do security 100% of the time, and I just finished due-diligence for WAP WLAN bridging.

  • Wireless Networking solutions for Tiger and G4 tower needed!

    Got a "new" G4 Digital Audio, and also got a G3 Tray load Imac in my home, along with my WinTel machines, I've got DSL, and a Linksys wireless router in the bedroom feeding the rest of the house with broadband access. The Macs are giving me a hardware headache! The G4 has an airport card slot, but Airport cards are more expensive than MIMO cards right now, and I can't afford that solution. Currently using a WET-11 wireless bridge to get connectivity to it. Bought a DLink DWL-G120 USB adapter, being led to believe that it would work with Macs, but, alas, it does not. I've got two Orinco Gold A/B PCMCIA cards, and a PCI PCMCIA adapter card so I can use those cards in a PC. Well, the Adapter card is recognized, but the Orinoco cards are not. They are both 32 bit 5v PCMCIA cards.
    Tried the 3rd party mac driver solutions, to no avail...
    Hate to spend more money on cards/bridges, but need to do something quick. Got to take the Imac to my hotel to use while I'm stuck there, and need a wireless solution. I can take the bridge, but that would leave my G4 tower w/o a connection to the net, unless I string a CAT 5 cable 50 feet from the bedroom to the living room.
    IMAC is running Mac OS 9.22. G4 has OSX 10.4.5.
    PowerMac G4 Digital Audio   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   HP DVD Burner

    Yes avoid the USB wireless adapters.
    Your solution lies in the Ethernet wireless adapters (like the Linksys WET11 or WET54G). That will work for both of your Macs.

  • Wireless bridge with WPA

    I want to add my wireless interface wlan0 to a bridge br0. But
    brctl addif br0 wlan0
    doesn't support this operation. I searched online and tried with 4addr mode enabled. Then the above code works but my wireless NIC cannot associate with the AP using wpa_supplicant.
    Could anyone help me explain this? What's the relationship between wireless bridge, 4addr mode and wpa_supplicant?
    Any other solution which can add wlan0 to br0 and associate it with AP using WPA is also welcome. Thank you!

    Assuming you want to have the Wireless interface be the GW....
    Instead directly connect the wireless interface to the bridge device,
    You could use iptables to forward and NAT traffic between wlan0 and br0
    Something like.
    Connect to the wireless network like you normally would.
    Then I guess you have a network of VM's on the bridge?, so...
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    brctl addif br0 eth0
    brctl addif br0 tap0
    brctl addif br0 tap1
    ifconfig br0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
    iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o br0 -s 10.0.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE
    I used that config to route hosts connected to my eth0 interface to the Internet through my wlan0 interface. ( i.e. there was no 'br0' in the iptables config instead it was 'eth0')
    With that config, the Hosts on eth0, tap0, and tap1 will have their default GW be 10.0.0.1 and the Archlinux/router/computer/laptop in the middle will have a default gw of whatever the wlan0's GW is.

  • Wireless to Wireless bridge help needed

    Folks....
    I think I am looking for a wireless to wireless bridge.
    My next door neighbor & I are splitting the cost of a fast Internet connection.  He is transmitting the signal to  me (and to his home) using a WAP54G access point.   I can pick up the signal in my yard,  but not in the house (well, by one window only).
    I want to:
    1) receive his signal (wireless),  AND re transmit it over my home.
    2)  I found a nice, high gain directional antenna and mounted it outside and pointed it to his WAP54G.   I have run wire from it to the inside of my home.
    3) I found a nice omni-directional antenna  I have mounted on the top of my home and have run wire to the  where the access point will live (this is also the place where the directional wire goes to.
    4) I  have both Macs and PCs which are wireless.  When I  take the computers outside the house,  they can all connect just fine to my neighbors transmission.
    My question:
    I  *think* (but I am not sure) I can both receive AND transmit from only one access point  (say, WAP54G for example).  Is this true?
    If this is not true, what is a good wireless solution to my above problem?  I can not run eithernet cable to my neighbors house. We like to video conference and I do not want to degrade the fast broadband signal.  I want a  802.11G solution.  A 802.11b solution would be too slow.
    I have emailed and spoken to Linksys tech support, but they do not understand me well enough to help me.  The emails from them are useless.
    I have looking over all the Linksys Knowledge base but have not found the answer.
    Can  someone point me to a knowledge base about this,  or  web site, or anything?
    I am pulling my hair out.  Can someone toss me a bone?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are several options you could use to do this. If you do a search for wireless CPE's you will find a HOST of Outdoor wireless directional antenna setups running POE so you can tap it RIGHT into any router you may have availible in your home. WRT54G/WRT54GS/Etc. The CPE will run you a pretty penny, but because you are so close to the source signal, I wouldnt suggest getting a CPE with anything more then 14dBi, Which is signifagntly cheaper. This CPE will allow you to run it in bridge mode, and feed it directly to your router. your neighbors router will see the CPE as just another wireless client, and wont even see the router behind the CPE. PRESTO! you have both a wireless internet connection from your neighbors house, but also your OWN independant WIFI solution in YOUR home! and the CPE's are capable of data transfers = to a T1 line, so dont worry about signal or speed degradation. Hope this helps! any more questions, and your welcome to E-mail me at [email protected]

  • Wireless Bridge between WAG120N and E1500

    I have my internet coming into my WAG120N and going out wirelessly. I want to setup a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via an ethernet cable) and have it access the internet. Unfortunatly I can run a cable from the WAG120N to where the TV is. So it I can get the E1500 wirelessly bridged to the WAG120N, I hope I can get around this issue.
    I have updated the firmware ont he E1500 to get Bridging support, but from what I can tell it only provides bridging via an ethernet cable. Is there away to bridge wirelessly?
    Cheers
    Mike
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Linksys wireless routers don't support wireless bridging.
    2. Either install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato or buy a dedicated wireless bridge and connect the E1500 to the bridge. That way you can also use the wireless in the E1500 for wireless connections.
    3. Otherwise check power line ethernet. That's often a better and more reliable solution.

  • Wireless bridge supporting igmp

    Has anybody got suggestions for a wireless bridge I can use on my youview setup.
    Tried a few 18 months ago, iplayer and nowtv worked but not IP channels.
    At the time I suspected it was down to incorrect igmp routing, my powerline setup is becoming problematic so I'm returning to a wireless solution
    Does anyone have a confirmed working wireless solution with ALL the ip facilities of youview including premium IP channels?
    My router is an older style bt homehub
    Ta
    Steve

    the reason why this doesnt work is that a BT HH3 doesnt pass IGMP/multicast packets onto the wireless AP.
    The supposed reason being that multicast could swamp the wireless network.
    It doesnt matter what client one uses, if IGMP packets arent passed to the wireless AP (by the router) then would wont be able to use youview wirelessly.
    by "use" I mean IPTV multicast channels (essentials BT sport etc) NOT iplayer of nowtv.
    anybody claiming to have IPTV channels working with a HH3 over wirelss is telling porkies, unless they know something that I dont.

  • Wireless Bridge between 2 building

    Hi !
    I need a wireless bridge between a second building (across the street, about 100' direct) to our main building and a switch.
    Can anyone recommend me a good products/solutions.
    The purpose of this bridge is to connect the remote office via a small Cisco Switch with 6 computers, and 6 IP Phones w/video.
    Thanks !

    The 1300 comes in two flavors, one with internal antenna and the other with external antenna connectors. For the distance you indicated I would use the internal antenna model, it is rated for up to 1.25 miles and requires less accuracy in alignment than the YAGI antenna. I believe the spread of the signal is 15 degrees on the built in antenna.
    The YAGI could be used with the external antenna model but will limit your exterior coverage for users other than the remote bridge.

  • Wireless Bridge 1410 vs 1310

    I am trying to design Video Surveillance Solutions for foot ball field. Here, we can not pull cable from cameras to MDF the building in Campus Environment. I am trying to incorporate Cisco bridges (Point to Multipoint Environment) in order carry data from cameras to MDF. I have attached diagram for your reference. For this solution I would like to have your advice as I am planning to deploy these bridges for the first time. I have some questions for you.
    1.) I am planning to use Cisco 1410 bridges instead of 1310 bridges. Do you think Cisco 1310 series would be sufficient for my application? Please advice me on antenna selections on root and non-root bridges in case of 140 and also 1310. I would like to use external antenna specially omni for root bridge and sectoral antennas for non-root. Please advice me for the best selection.
    2.) As Cisco bridging solution does not have LWAPP option. I was thinking of using WLSE for managing those bridges but I came to know that is on its EOL. Do we have any other option?
    -Do we have to have separate appliance for WLSE? Can you advice me how should I order that? Please let me know how much bridges will be supported by WLSE (1 license)?
    3.)I am thinking of using external antenna. I would like to use omnidirectional antenna for root bridge and sectoral antennas for non-root bridges. Please advice which antenna I should be using in case of 1410 and 1310 series.

    I can understand your concern for the cost of the 1400 series, but the 1400 series is built for point-to-point links for up to 25 MILES!! Obviously less in cases of point-to-multipoint. The 1310 bridge can go a couple of miles as well, but the data rate is going to suffer at 2.4 GHz 'g' only. That's why I said to do some testing to verify you can get the data rates you need to support your application. The only time you actually want to use omni directional antennas with bridging are if you are creating a mesh or a repeater. For PtP to PtM, you would reduce your link budget, distance, and overall throughput by using omni directional antennas. The fact that we use the term 'point-to-point' tells you that you only want your signal to go from the root to the non-root and not elsewhere. Since we can't really contain wireless signals once they're in the air, it's up to engineers to design antennas for us that essentially cheat physics and shape the antenna pattern so that it is directional. Higher gain directional antennas will have a high 'front-to-back' ratio (F/B ratio) telling you that a certain percentage is going in front of the antenna, and a certain amount is going out the back. When the amount going out the front exceeds the amount going out the back, you begin to have a directional antenna. In addition, at larger distances, if you don't use directional antennas, it will be very difficult to align them and keep a stable connection due to the fade margin of the omni directional antennas. The bridges have a built in alignment mode with lights to help you achieve maximum throughput. When you align them, make very calculated, small changes. Don't move both sides, and don't move in both planes (horizontal, vertical). Keep your antennas pointed at one another using some binoculars or other pointing devices and get the best reading you can at the root after an initial setup. Then lock the root into place and go to the other side. Again, make calculated changes to vertical until you find the best, and then lock it down. Finish with sweeping horizontal until you get the best and lock it down. It may take you several iterations until you get it right. As for the non-root antennas, you don't want to mix antennas too much if you can avoid it, but in the case of point-to-multipoint, you've got it backwards. You want a larger angle on the root bridge, and high gain directional on the non-roots pointing back to the root. It is imperative that you know what the polarization is of each antenna (vertical vs. horizontal) and that you MATCH that polarization at both ends. Most antennas have this clearly labeled on the antenna itself, or it is specified in the user manual.
    Good luck!

  • 1532i Wireless Bridge Confusion (CAPWAP)

    I'm working on setting up a wireless bridge between two buildings that currently are connected via fiber.  The fiber needs to be pulled back and re-run so we want to use the bridge as the L2 trunk while that work is being done.  Right now I'm labing up the two 1532i's we will be using for the project and am running into some snags.  These APs are CAPWAP, connect to the controller fine, and (finally) are able to see each other, but not pass traffic.  I've got one of them connected to a test switch that I can remove from the rest of the network to validate the mesh bridge comes up, the other is in my main switch stack.
    The issue I'm having trouble with is the VLAN tagging.  I've set the native vlan on the AP (under the AP's mesh tab) to that of the primary data VLAN (700) and have allowed a few other VLANs to pass (705 and 706).  I've configured the switch uplinks to the APs as trunks - this is where I'm having a hard time.  The documentation says that I need to have the trunk's native VLAN be 1 (i.e. no native vlan) - the issue is when I do this, my RAP loses connection to the wireless controller because it's BVI is not tagging the packets (I believe) for VLAN 700 and we don't use VLAN 1.  If I set "switchport trunk native vlan 700" on the switch trunk interface, all is well but I get a ton of spanning-tree errors on my switch.
    I know the solution is going to be a simple oversight, but MAN am I stumped.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    I found that the issue is that I had the APs on the same VLAN that my user / device data was using.  I found out this needs to be a "management" type VLAN as it won't pass traffic, only connects the devices.  Once I changed the native VLAN off my user network and allowed that network though, all was working as expected.
