Hi,
I am new to wireless and have been given the task of networking 2 buildings together.
My scenario:
2 Buildings about 30 meters apart.
Direct Line of site (no obsticles - 2 buildings seperated by open car park)
Encryption is nessisary
At present there are 2 sepearate LANS, one in each building. We want to combine them and all run off same ip subnet with DNS, DHCP etc.
Windows 2000 server with WinXP clients
Minimum speed of 54mbps across link but prefer 100mbps.
What do I need at both ends to connect the two buildings together? Each location has their own hub so the equipment needs to plug into that as well.
Do I need an outdoor antenna? or can I use two indoor access point thingies (on at each end) and they should talk given distance not that far?
Any advise would be appreciated
Dave.
