Hi everyone,

I'll try to be as specific as possible. I have a client who basically needs a repeater between two adjacent buildings approximately 28 feet apart, no obstructions. Buildings are brick. They now need Internet access in building two with the gateway being, of course, in building one. Some of our issues include the fact that it's a small non-profit, so the budget is small. I was wondering if two of Meraki's smaller outdoor AP's could be an economical solution. If not, I'll need another solution apart from creating a hard-wired connection as this would also mean a single point of failure.

If anyone has an answer or if you need more specifics on the issue, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you,
Michael Huff, MIS

I would use hardware specific for wireless bridging. I am not familiar with the Meraki product line. I usually use Ubiquiti. A nice, not too expensive outdoor bridge from Ubiquiti would be two Nanostation Loco M5's. On a good link they have a link rate of 300Mbit/s and a throughput of about 100Mbit/s. They are about $65 each.
